Matrai Makes a Huge Call on the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andras Matrai raised in early position to 14,000, Catalin Pop, to his direct left, three-bet to 34,000 and Matrai called.
Matrai check-called a bet of 20,000 from Pop on a flop of 5♠K♠2♠.
The 8♦ turn checked through to the 2♣ on the river. Matrai checked once more and Pop moved all in, putting Matrai to the test for, approximately, his last 110,000. After several minutes in the tank, Matrai made a huge call for his tournament life just a few players away from the money.
Pop tabled 6♥2♦ for trips while Matrai was sent to the rail with K♥J♥.
