Matakis Loses Loads to Tolbert
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In a battle big blind versus under the gun, Ian Matakis was making a move when he fired a bet of 325,000 on the 
river. Clint Tolbert talked more to himself than anyone at the table and called within the allocated 30-second shot clock.
Matakis rolled over 
for a pair of eights and missed flush draw while Tolbert won the pot with the 
. He then apologised for a slow roll and joked "why do I always talk out loud ... I talk to myself all the time."
The next hand brought a limp by Matakis in the small blind and Tolbert raised to 80,000 from the big blind, which Matakis opted to call. Both checked the 
flop and Matakis then bet the turn for 55,000. Tolbert raised it up to 175,000 and Matakis quickly folded.
