Mathews Knocked Out
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
John Anderson raised to 30,000 from middle position, and Graham Mathews called from the hijack before Sean Troha fired out a 130,000 three-bet from the small blind.
With action back on Anderson, he moved all in for all of his last 156,000 chips, and Mathews called off his shorter stack. Troha called for the rest.
Graham Mathews: A♦8♥6♥6♦3♥
John Anderson: A♥9♥7♥3♦2♦
Sean Troha: A♣A♠J♣5♠2♣
The runout of 10♥3♠J♥2♥8♣ produced a nut-flush and the high for Anderson, while Troha knocked Mathews out with an eight-five low, bettering his eight-six.
