Matakis Gives It Up

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With 130,000 in the pot, Ian Matakis checked from the cutoff on a K9106 board. Levon Khachatryan bet 50,000 on the button, and Matakis check-raised to 280,000, which Khachatryan called.

The 10 completed the board, and Matakis thought long and hard on how to proceed, ultimately choosing to check. Khachatryan checked behind and tabled the winning hand with his 9875 for a straight after Matakis revealed his KJJ8.
