Coroama Gets There on the River to Bust Matlock

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 30,033 ante

Daniel Coroama bet 1,700 from the hijack on a flop of A♦Q♣2♥ and Eric Matlock raised to 4,700 on the button. Coroama called, and the 8♥ fell on the turn.

Coroama then led out for 6,000, and Matlock called. Coroama checked the 9♠ river, and Matlock moved all in for 45,700. Coroama quickly called and turned over J♠10♠ for a rivered straight, and Matlock tossed A♠10♣ into the muck.

Coroama's stack was counted down, and he had Matlock covered by less than 1,000 to secure the knockout.
