Liu Doubles Through Matakis
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ian Matakis raised before Tian Liu jammed for 23,000 and was called by Matakis to go to a showdown with Liu at risk.
Tian Liu: A♦4♦
Ian Matakis: 9♥9♠
Liu was considerably behind heading into the runout, but the flop changed that when it fanned out A♣Q♥4♣.
Matakis was drawing thin to retake the lead after the flop, but the turn made it so he was drawing dead as it came the A♠ to give Liu a full house.
The meaningless 2♥ on the river peeled off to give Liu the double-up.
