Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Josh Matti had a raise of 42,000 in front of him from the button before Alan Strouf moved all in for 211,000 in the hijack. Matti called to put Strouf at risk.
Alan Strouf: A♣Q♣
Josh Matti: A♦K♣
Strouf found himself dominated as the flop came 2♦2♣5♥. The A♠ fell on the turn to give both players two pair, while Matti remained in the lead with his king-kicker and was poised for the knockout until Strouf spiked the Q♠ on the river to win the pot and double up.
