Trips No Good for Negreanu; Matakis Jams on Martirosian
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu raised to 85,000 from the button and Joni Jouhkimainen came along form the big blind.
Jouhkimainen check-called for 90,000 on the A♠7♠3♣ flop before the 6♣ turn and A♦ river checked through to showdown. Jouhkimainen tabled A♣K♦J♣2♣ for trip aces with a king kicker. Negreanu also had an ace, flahsing A♥J♠ before conceding the pot.
On the next deal, Ian Matakis limped in from the button, with Jouhkimainen doing the same from the small blind. Artur Martirosian made it 100,000 from the big blind and Matakis was the only caller.
Martirosian check-called bets of 80,000 and 270,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 10♦8♣7♥4♥6♣. Martirosian snap-folded when Matakis jammed for around 500,000.
