Minnesota's Matakis Takes It on the River
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
The player on the button opened for 1,800 and Minnesota's Ian Matakis called from the small blind. Taylor Hale came along from the big blind and it was three-way action to the 
flop. Two checks saw the button continue for 3,500, Matakis called, and Hale got out of the way.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, action went check-check and the 
completed the board on the river putting out four to a straight.
Matakis led out for 4,500 and that's all it took as his opponent gave up on the hand.
