Matrone Checks Down a Winner
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After losing an all in earlier, Michael Matrone raised to 1,600 from the cutoff. Justin Lett called from the small blind, and Jhordy Sanchez came along in the big blind.
Both blinds checked the 4♠2♥10♠ flop, and Matrone continued for 4,000. Only Lett called to see the 9♠ turn, where both players declined to bet.
Lett checked again on the 3♦ river, and Matrone opted to check back while turning over 10♣8♣ for a pair of tens. That was enough to claim the pot, as Lett mucked.
