Matthews Stays Alive in Classic Race
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Eddie Matthews had all his chips in the middle preflop and was up against Aleksandr Merzhvinskii.
Aleksandr Merzhvinskii: 
Eddie Matthews: 
It was a classic race of big slick versus ladies. The flop came 
to put Matthews ahead.
The 
turn made things interesting by keeping Matthews in the lead with a flush but also putting boat possibilities out there for Merzhvinskii. The 
river changed nothing however and Matthews doubled.
