Matakis Slowly Chips Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan Johnson made it 10,000 to go from the cutoff and only Ian Matakis called on the button.
Both players checked the 4♦10♣2♥ flop to see the 6♦ hit the turn. Johnson checked, and Matakis bet 8,000. Johnson quickly called.
Two more checks followed on the J♠ river and Johnson showed K♥Q♥J♦9♦ for a pair of jacks. Matakis had that beat with A♥J♣9♥7♦ for the same pair with a better kicker.
