Boat over Boat Sinks Matakis
Level 5
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A raise to 8,000 by Anatoly Nikitin from under the gun began the action and led to calls from Ian Matakis and Tyler Cornell out of the big blind.
Cornell checked the flop of 10♣2♥4♦ before Nikitin fired 10,000. Matakis called, and Cornell folded.
Nikitin continued to bet on the 5♣ turn for 32,000, which was called by Matakis.
The 2♠ river paired the board. Nikitin sized up a bet of 100,000, which was met with an all-in from Matakis. Nikitin quickly called.
Matakis showed 4♣4♠ for a flopped set that turned into a full house in the river, but was dismayed to see the 5♠5♥ of Nikitn, who turned a higher set and rivered a better full house.
