Matakis Crosses Six Figures

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Ian Matakis
Ian Matakis

Heads up to the JK4 flop, Ian Matakis bet 1,500 from under the gun, and Eshaan Bhalla check-called. The J turn then prompted Bhalla to lead out for 1,000. Matakas was having none of it and raised to 3,300, which Bhalla called.

Matakis then dropped in 9,500 on the 10 river. After some thought, Bhalla check-called to showdown. Matakis showed a full house with KJ, and he raked in the pot when Bhalla mucked.
