Nanos Nullifies Matei

Nicusor Matei opened to 4,500 from under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 13,000 from Konstantinos Nanos on the button.

Action folded back to Matei, who four-bet jammed for his 56,500 total stack. Nanos asked for a count and called.

Nicusor Matei; K♣K♥ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: A♠Q♠

Matei was in good shape with cowboys versus a single overcard, and he was still ahead after the Q♣4♦2♠ flop, although Nanos picked up top pair.

The 5♠ turn spelt danger, giving Nanos a flush draw, and the 7♠ hit on the river to send Matei to the rail.

Matei slammed the table in disgust at his misfortune, and beat a hasty retreat from the tournament area.
