Matonis Emerges Victorious as Chipleaders Battle
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Egidijus Matonis raised to 400,000 in middle position. David Marfil was in the hijack, and he flatted. The duo went to a flop of 4♣5♥A♠, where Matonis bet another 400,000 and Marfil called.
They both checked the 8♠ turn, prompting Matonis to bet 350,000 on the 7♠ river. Marfil quickly called, but his A♣10♣ was no longer good as Matonis had made runner-runner two pair with 8♥7♥ to take the pot and reclaim the lead.
