Matakis Makes the Pay Jump
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was picked up on a board reading 5♠K♦6♥A♥3♦ in what was described to PokerNews as a "limped pot preflop." There were 360,000 chips in the middle, and Ian Matakis had announced "pot," in the cutoff, leaving just under 60,000 chips behind. Richard Gryko then put him all in, and Matakis went deep into the tank with one player left to a $900 pay jump.
Once he made it, he flicked in the call and showed K♥K♣4♠3♣ for second set with a straight blocker. However, Gryko showed that his wrap had improved to the nuts on the river, as his 8♣7♠5♦4♦ scooped, sending Matakis home.
