Matros Nearly Gets a Chop
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was picked up as Matthew Matros was all in from the cutoff against Mikhail Prokopchuk who was on the button.
Matthew Matros: A♣K♠ 
Mikhail Prokopchuk: K♥K♦
The board ran out Q♣5♦9♦10♥K♣, and Matros was eliminated after the dealer initially attempted to split the pot, not realizing that Prokopchuk had rivered a set. A player at the table jokingly remarked, "You nearly got away with a chop," prompting a chuckle from Matros, who wished everyone luck before making his exit from the tournament
