Three Barrels For Matus
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Toni Kaukua opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and saw Illia Matus call in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♠5♠3♣, where Matus took the lead and bet 11,000. Kaukua wasn't impressed and raised to 33,000.
Matus eventually called, then opted for an unusual line on the turn 7♦ as he took the lead again and bet 32,000. Kaukua quickly called to find the K♠ on the river.
Matus didn't back down and fired a third barrel of 125,000. Kaukua didn't seem very happy and decided to fold. A few hands later, the table broke
