Lonis Down but Not Out

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Soon after losing the previous all-in showdown with Toby Joyce, Jesse Lonis also doubled Ian Matakis and the latter then tried to finish the job he started.

Lonis was all-in for only 70,000 and Matakis raised the pot to 430,000. There was brief confusion as Raj Vohra was still in the hand and then folded while Matakis said "sorry, I didn't see your limp," before they proceeded with the showdown.

Jesse Lonis: KQ97 All in
Ian Matakis: AJ102

The 8546J runout gave Lonis a straight and he survived for the time being.
