Matrone Gets Paid on the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

With a sizeable pot on the line, and facing a check from the hijack, Michael Matrone bet 5,900 on the river of a {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board.

The hijack didn't take too long to make the call, but ended up mucking his hand in frustration when Matrone turned over {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}, for the nut straight.

Matrone is at almost double the starting stack as the first break of Day 1b approaches.
