Matakis Doubles Through Kihara
Level 5
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There were approximately 185,000 in the middle on a board that read 10♠J♦2♥7♣5♠ when this hand was picked up.
Naoya Kihara checked from the big blind before Ian Matakis went all in for 179,000 out of the cutoff position.
Kihara gave it some thought before he put in the call.
Matakis rolled over 9♥8♥6♠4♠ for a straight, which was enough to topple Kihara's hand of A♥Q♦J♠2♦ to score the double-up.
