Matt Matros Doubles Up

With Jim Miller raising a lot of pots, Matt Matros took a stand when Miller came after his big blind. Miller had raised to 5,000 on the button and Matros moved all in for his last 32,600. But Miller made the call and held the better hand, {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}, to Matros' {K-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}.

The {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} helped neither player, but Matros caught the {4-Spades} on the turn to take the lead, and he took the pot after the {9-Clubs} fell on the river. Matros is now up to 67,000.
