Tang Straightens Out Matakis
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ian Matakis raised it up on the button and Danny Tang called from the small blind. The flop came A♦Q♠9♥ and Tang check-called a bet from Matakis which created a pot of around 100,000.
The turn brought the 5♣ and Tang checked again. Matakis slid out a bet of 52,000 and Tang check-raised all in. Matakis thought for a brief moment before sticking in the additional 80,000 chips in front of him.
Ian Matakis: A♣J♥
Danny Tang: J♦10♠
Matakis was in the lead with a pair of aces but the K♣ on the turn gave Tang a straight to eliminate Matakis short of the money.
