The button is with Dan Heimiller in Seat 1. The action passed around to Corwin Cole who made it 100,000 to go from the cutoff. Matt Matros was the lone caller from the small blind.

The flop landed {A-Spades}

and Matros checked to Cole who made a continuation bet of 135,000. Matros then announced a check-raise to a total of 400,000. Cole moved all in and Matros quickly called.

Cole: {6-Spades}

Matros:

Cole held the lead with a set of sixes but Matros had a lot of outs with straight and flush possibilities. However the turn ended the race as the {A-Hearts}

gave Cole a full house and a lock in the hand. A meaningless {Q-Spades}

fell on the river as Cole doubles up to become our new chip leader and put Matros on the short stack!
