Matakis Pays Kornuth Off
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chance Kornuth opened to 17,000 first to act and was called by Ognyan Dimov on the button and Ian Matakis in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Action checked through on the 3♥9♠5♦ flop and Matakis checked again on the 10♥ turn. Kornuth bet 42,000, which got a fold from Dimov and a call from Matakis.
The K♣ completed the board and Matakis checked once more. Kornuth fired 87,000 into the middle and Matakis put in calling chips after a bit of thought.
Kornuth turned over K♥J♠ for a rivered pair of kings and Matakis tossed his hand into the muck.
