Matta Cracks Aces to Double

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Serge Matta
Serge Matta

Ernestas Degtiariovas raised to 800,000 from under the gun with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Serge Matta called in the cutoff with {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, leaving himself just 1,800,000 behind.

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Degtiariovas bet 700,000. Matta shoved all in with his two pair and Degtiariovas snap-called.

Degtiariovas was incredulous after seeing Matta's holding as the board ran out {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, securing Matta a double up.
