Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Joshua Ladines raised to 7,000 from the cutoff before Firas Kashat three-bet to 15,000 from the button. Ian Matakis jammed for his last 27,500 from the big blind, and only Kashat called.

Firas Kashat: 6♣5♣4♠3♥
Matakis managed to stay ahead the whole way on the J♥2♣9♠K♦Q♦ runout, as he improved to a Broadway straight to double-up.
