Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

This hand was picked up on the turn with 170,000 in the middle on a board that read Q♦9♥7♦Q♥. Sergio Martinez Gonzalez bet 65,000 from middle position and was called by Ian Matakis from the cutoff.

The 5♣ peeled on the river before Martinez Gonzalez bet 300,000, which was enough to put Matakis all-in as he had 270,000 left.

Matakis went into the tank as he played all his time banks to mull over the decision.

Matakis opted to fold his hand to yield the pot to Martinez Gonzalez.

"I was afraid I'd lose to a bluff," said Matakis after the fold.

"Can you beat ace-nine?" replied Martinez Gonzalez.

"No," said Matakis.

"Then you lose to a bluff," responded Martinez Gonzalez with a chuckle.
