Matura Values a Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
On his first hand of the day, Walter Matura opened to 800, but Norbert Kovacs to his left three-bet to 2,200. The button and the blinds folded to Matura, who made a face but called.
Both players checked on a K♥8♣9♦ flop. But on the turn 3♥, Matura bet 1,000. Kovacs quickly called, and didn't wait to call again on the river 2♥ after Matura bet 2,000.
Unfortunately for Kovacs, Matura had a pair with K♦10♣ and won the pot.
