Da Matta Chips up With the Nuts
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alvin Pillay won a bigger pot off Jon Persent when the latter had to give up the 6♣3♣3♥A♠ turn and he then took on the chip leader at the table in Franco Da Matta. On the K♣Q♦J♣ flop, Da Matta bet 60,000 and Pillay called.
Da Matta check-called the 6♠ turn for 60,000 and led the 7♣ river for 280,000. Pillay tank-folded and exclaimed "bluff ... show".
Da Matta was about to rake in the pot but eventually flashed the A♣Q♣ for the nuts.
