Matrai Soars As Benitez Runs Kings Into Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Francisco Benitez opened to 5,000 from early position and Andras Matrai three-bet jammed a stack of around 25,000 from the button. Morelli Felipe cold-called in the big blind and Benitez took some time before four-bet jamming with Felipe covered. Felipe snap-called for around 140,000.
Morelli Felipe: 7♥7♦
Andras Matrai: A♣A♠
Francisco Benitez: K♠K♣
Matrai was on the right side of the massive preflop cooler and improved to a set on the 2♥A♦Q♥ flop before the board finished out 3♠J♠ to earn him the big pot and send Felipe to the rail.
