Matveychuk Takes Down Small Pot

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Roman Matveychuk is easy to spot in this field, the well built Russian's arms have been dedicated to his love of tattoos.

Matveychuk has a good record here in this casino, having come fourth and won back-to-back titles in the 2011 Merit Holiday Series in December 2011 and he is looking for a career best finish this time around.

He just min-raised to 200 from under the gun and it looked like he was just going to claim the blinds but at the last moment Alexey Popov called on the button and the cowboy hat sporting Yilmaz Oguz put in the extra 100 chip from the big blind.

The dealer fanned out the {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Oguz checked, Matveychuk confidently bet 300 and both opponents instantly folded.
