Matonis Three-Bets Into Aces, Regains Next Hand
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Kai Lehto raised to 500,000 in the hijack with A♠A♦. Egidijus Matonis responded with a three-bet to 1,400,000 in the cutoff, holding 10♥5♥. Lehto then four-bet to 3,300,000, and Matonis got rid of his adventurous hand.
On the next deal, Egidijus Matonis was the one to raise preflop, making it 500,000 with A♠K♦ in the hijack. Julian Selinger sat in the big blind and defended 9♣8♥. Matonis bet 400,000 on the K♣K♠9♠ flop, and Selinger check-called.
Matonis sized up to 950,000 on the 10♥ turn. Selinger wisely gave up on his pair as Matonis took down the pot without needing to show his trips.
