Shaio Doubles Through Matros

Ramey Shaio-All Smiles

Matt Matros raised on the button to 65,000, and Ramey Shaio, who had been widdled down to 510,000, moved all in. Mark Radoja folded his big blind, and Matros made the call.

Matros: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Shaio: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The flop was a tough one for Shaio, coming {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Shaio could now just catch a king to win the pot, but the turn was the {7-Spades}. Shaio's railed clammered for a king, and it was all that would save Shaio.

River: {k-Clubs}

As soon as he saw the card, Shaio yelled "KING!!" and ran to high five his rail. He is back up over a million after the hand, while Matros dips below four million.
