Breck Leads the River

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Viktor Blom limped in middle position, with Jose Scarano doing the same as next to act. Ian Matakis raised to 17,000 on the button, and Brian Breck made the call in the big blind.

Blom and Scarano both came along to the 287 flop, and action checked around to Matakis. After taking a moment, Matakis tossed out a 25,000 chip, and all three opponents made the call.

The 9 turn produced checks from all four players, and Breck led out for 50,000 on the 9 river. That produced folds around the table, and Breck collected the pot.
