Simon Mattsson opened to 16,000 from the hijack, and was faced with a three-bet to 40,000 from Ran Ilani in the cutoff. Action folded back to Mattsson, who called.
On the K♠4♦3♥ flop, Mattsson check-called a bet of 21,000 from Ilani.
The 7♣ turn was checked through to the 2♣ river. Mattsson led out with a blocker bet of 10,000, and Ilani raised to 115,000.
After a bit of thought, Mattsson three-bet to 220,000, and Ilani was forced to fold after burning through two time banks.

The death of musician, recording engineer and poker player Steve Albini hit the music world with a force like that of the incendiary device aimed at Earth pictured on Big Black's 1986 debut album Atomizer. It may have hit one group of Chicago poker players the hardest.
Albini, a two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner who recorded landmark works by bands like Nirvana and Pixies and who The New York Times described as "one of the most admired, and most divisive, figures in rock," was a key figure in a friend group that bonded, joked and supported one another over the poker table. For 20 years, they played in a weekly low-stakes Chicago home game often held in Electrical Audio that included bracelet winners like Jason Gola, Eric Rodawig and Brian Hastings. Now, the game is on hiatus after Albini's death in May as the group of poker pros, musicians and audio engineers adapts to a world without its figurehead.
PokerNews spoke with two of Albini's closest friends who were regulars in the game, Brandon Shack-Harris and Andrew Kosinski.
