Matakis Pulling Away
Level 3
: Blinds 500/1,000, 0 ante
Ian Matakis opened to 2,500 on the button before calling when Phil Hellmuth three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind.
Hellmuth checked blind, but called when Matakis bet 4,000 on the A♥4♣2♦ flop.
The K♣ turn joined the board, and Hellmuth opted to lead out for 10,000, which Matakis called.
Hellmuth bet again on the 9♦ river, this time for 22,000. Matakis called, showing his A♠4♠, which earned him the pot as Hellmuth tabled his A♦J♣.
