Mathis Spinning from a Single Chip
Marty Mathis was down to his last 500 chips and was forced all in from the small blind. Arthur Peacock raised from middle position and everyone else folded. Mathis turned over 10♠9♣ and was up against the 6♥6♦ of Peacock. A ten on the turn was good enough for Mathis who eventually made a straight on the river to claim the pot.
On the next hand, Peacock made it 3,000 again and Mathis stuck in his stack of 3,000 chips on the button. The rest of the table folded once again.
Marty Mathis: A♣7♠
Arthur Peacock: A♥5♥
The board ran out A♦10♥4♦2♠10♦ and Mathis held the better kicker for another double up to 10,000 chips.
"Ok, let's slow our roll," Mathis said as he took one hand off.
However, following that he was all in again for 10,000 in middle position. Peacock was in the big blind and took a moment to call after some speech play back and forth.
Marty Mathis: A♠4♦
Arthur Peacock: 8♠7♥
The flop came A♥K♦2♥ and Mathis took another big lead with a pair of aces. The 6♦ on the turn left Peacock drawing dead to the Q♠ on the river.
