Matas Cimbolas
Matas Cimbolas

Matas Cimbolas raised it up from under the gun and was called by Jake Daniels on the button and Alexandros Theologis in the big blind. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Theologis led out with a bet of 16,000. Cimbolas raised to 45,000 which got Daniels to fold but Theologis called.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and Theologis check-called a bet of 50,000 from Cimbolas. The {2-Hearts} on the river slowed the action as both players knuckled the table. Cimbolas showed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for two pair and Theologis sent his cards to the muck.
