Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

From the cutoff, Ian Matakis opened it up to 2,500 with Pavel Plesuv being the only one to come along from the button.

Matakis and Plesuv were both happy to check the 3♦2♦A♣ flop and the 9♥ landed on the turn. Matakis bet 6,000, which Plesuv called.

Matakis decided to check on the K♥ river, which caused Plesuv to bet 16,000. Matakis folded, giving up the pot to Plesuv.
