Matta Hides His Jacks
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After an open by the player under the gun, Nabil Matta defended from the big blind to find a flop of K♥10♣4♣.
Matta check-called for 2,000, then checked on the turn 8♥. His opponent checked back.
The 5♠ completed the board, but brought no more action as both players checked again.
First player to reveal his cards, Matta flipped over J♠J♦ for two pair. The player in the cutoff seemed to be unhappy to see these cards and sent his hand into the muck.
