Hagberg Busts Matilla in Classic Race

Richard Hayes

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Jussi Mattila all-in for around 40,000 and at risk against Benny Hagberg.

Jussi Mattila: Q♥Q♠ All in
Benny Hagberg: A♦K♠

It was the classic race, but Mattila was up out of his chair after the K♥6♠3♦ flop, saying "Of course, of course."

He could not find a two-outer on the 6♦ turn or 8♦ river, and he wished the table good luck as he departed.
