Matakis Attacks the Wrong Opponents; Kornuth Climbs

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Three ways to a flop of 987, Chance Kornuth and John Hennigan checked to Ian Matakis.

Matakis bet 10,000 and was decisively raised to 37,000 by Kornuth, who had defended his big blind.

Hennigan folded and Matakis snap-mucked his hand as Kornuth collected the chips.
