Matros Survives

Recent Limit bracelet winner Matt Matros found himself all in just moments ago with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} versus {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Although he wasn't the shortest stack, he was still vulnerable as Spencer Hudson had him out-chipped and duly spiked top pair on the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades} flop whilst the second all-in player improved to a set.

But, as you already know, poker is full of surprises, and before a blank hit the river, a {10-Spades} arrived on the turn to eliminate the short-stack, award Mattors the 38,000 pot, and leave a disgruntled Hudson with a depleted stack of 28,000.
