Plouffe Doubles Through Mathis

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Mathis opened to 125,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Philippe Plouffe who moved all in for 1.01 million from the small blind. Mathis made the call.

Mathis: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Plouffe: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop gave Plouffe a stranglehold on the hand and only running straight cards would eliminate him. The {k-Spades} on the turn gave Mathis a pair of kings and the {k-Clubs} on the river gave him trips, but they were no good against Plouffe's full house.

Plouffe doubled to 2.1 million chips while Mathis dropped to 1.3 million.
