Matheson Coolered by Beetz

Anthony Thompson

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joe Matheson raised to 3,500 from middle position only to have Bradley Beetz three-bet to 7,000 from the cutoff.

Action folded back to Matheson who four-bet jammed for roughly 50,000 and Beetz snap-called.

Joe Matheson:
Bradley Beetz:

Matheson woke-up with kings at the wrong time and the flop left him drawing to running cowboys.

Unfortunately for Matheson, the turn left him drawing dead and the river ended his Day 1a run.
