Andrew Knowles

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Dominik Nitsche in the cutoff who opened for 53,000, leaving only 20,000 behind. Ian Matakis moved all in for just over 200,000, and after some time, Nitsche called to put himself at risk.

Dominik Nitsche: 7♠6♠
Ian Matakis: 8♥8♠

Matakis was in great shape and when the board ran out A♣8♣7♣9♦K♣, it was the flopped set of eights that held up to score the pot for Matakis and send Nitsche to the payout desk.
