Matthews Busts in a "Wild Hand"
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Stephen Courtney raised to 6,000 from an early position and was called by Brandon Matthews on the button as well as Teren Ramnundlall in the big blind. The flop brought J♠8♠6♠ and Ramnundlall bet 12,000 first to act. Courtney raised to 25,000 only for Matthews to then jam for 78,000.
Ramnundlall folded and Courtney used three time bank extensions before he made the call.
Brandon Matthews: A♥K♠ 
Stephen Courtney: 10♣10♥
Matthews was behind but had all spades as well as aces and kings at his disposal. The 5♦ turn and Q♦ river were blanks, as Courtney jumped out of his chair in relief with a "thank you, thank you".
Ahmed Karrim then confirmed all the details and added "you missed a wild hand".
