Matakis Applies Preflop Pressure; Tolbert Getting Shoves Through
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ian Matakis raised to 80,000 from under the gun before Pedro Neves three-bet to 210,000 from the button. Matakis fired back with a raise to 420,000 and Neves went into the tank for a moment before he tossed his cards in the muck.
Meanwhile, the table has been playing small ball for a couple of orbits. Clint Tolbert got two shoves through, and Mello did the same from the small blind against Matakis. A number of other preflop raises in this level have taken the pot without any action.
