Mattioda the First Over a Million

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A short-stacked Joe Huang shoved all in for 118,000 from the under-the-gun position and Paul Mattioda called from middle position. The rest of the field folded and it was off to the races.

Huang: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Mattioda: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Huang was the one at risk and in need of improvement, but he didn't do it on the {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. The {9-Clubs} turn improved Mattioda to a full house, and that left Huang drawing dead. The meaningless {4-Diamonds} was put out on the river for good measure, and then Huang made his way to the payout desk in 30th place for $2,587.
