Matheson Pushes Out the Competition
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Former MSPT champ Joe Matheson was in middle position and raised to 4,000. Action folded around to the small blind who called while the player in the big blind folded their hand.
Flop: 
Matheson's opponent led out for a bet of 4,000 and Matheson found the call.
The 
turn was a third spade leading Matheson's opponent to check. Without hesitating, Matheson shoved all in with a pot-size bet of 16,000. The player in the small blind considered the call for quite some time before finally throwing his cards into the muck.
