Franklin Can't Move Matias

Under the gun, Ryan Franklin came in with a raise to 55,000. Antonio Matias was the only man who wanted to play, putting in the call with position to see a flop.

The dealer ran out the first three cards: {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Franklin fired a healthy bet of 105,000, and Matias quickly began stacking out a raise. He made it 250,000 straight, and the decision was back on the 18-year-old. After a long pause, Franklin sat still as he quietly announced, "Reraise." He counted out another 550,000 and added them to the pot for a total bet of 655,000. Matias didn't waste too much time calling.

The turn card came the {3-Hearts} to put trips on board. Franklin sat absolutely motionless for what felt like an eternity before he tapped the table. Matias immediately announced an all in, and Franklin couldn't have mucked any faster.

The big pot goes to the big stack, and he's increased his chip lead significantly. Franklin, on the other hand, has just squandered half of his chip stack in one fell swoop.

Matias - 3,450,000
Franklin - 735,000
