In a three-way limped pot, the flop fell {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The big blind led out for 200 and Kevin Mathers raised to 400 on the button. His opponent called and the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn.

The big blind checked and Mathers announced all in, putting his opponent at risk for his last 475 chips. He made the call and the cards were tabled. Mathers had flopped top pair with {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} while his opponent held {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair and straight draw. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Mathers held on to eliminate his opponent.
