Mataya Tries to Trap Rampage
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ethan "Rampage" Yau opened to 9,000 from the button and was then three-bet to 21,000 from Scott Mataya in the small blind.
Yau made the call and the two went heads-up to a flop of 3♦5♦9♥, which saw a continuation from Mataya for 26,000. Yau wasted no time in making the call and the duo saw the turn come the 2♦.
Mataya decided to slow down and checked to Yau who then fired for 35,000. This did not seem to bother Mataya as he made the call to see the 3♣ fall on the river.
Mataya checked once more and Yau quickly checked back, to which Mataya flipped over A♦7♦ for the ace-high flush. Yau smirked and tossed in his cards while the pot was pushed over to Mataya.
