Matt Alexander Doubles Up Another Player
![[user269803]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Matt Alexander is having a tough go today. He was previously involved in a big hand with Blake Bohn, and when we approached the table, Alexander had just called an opponent's all-in on a 
board.
Alexander turned over 
for top pair, but unfortunately his opponent turned over 
for a higher kicker.
The 
turn and 
river failed to improve Alexander's hand and he was left with 25,000 after doubling up his opponent.

Two Pros Battle It Out
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Matt Alexander raised to 1,300 under the gun, Blake Bohn reraised to 3,500, Alexander four-bet to 11,000, and Bohn called.
The flop came 
. Alexander lead for 9,000, Bbohn shoved all in, and Alexander quickly folded.
Bohn slid his cards in front of Alexander for him to look at, but Alexander chose to slide them forward into the muck without looking.
Bohn said, "I wish you had queens there. I had the best possible hand."
