Tran Trips Up Matthews
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a blind on blind battle on the turn, Stephen Mathews led for 7,000 from the small blind and Luther Tran made the call in the big blind.
The completed board read K♦10♠2♦4♥2♠. Mathews led for a third time for 15,000. Luther took some time before he cut out a raise to 51,000. Mathews deliberated for about a minute before he flicked in the call. Luther tabled Q♥2♣ for rivered trips much to the distaste of Mathews who was left short after the hand.
