Matzinger Coolers Backus as the Bubble Looms

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Brad Backus
Brad Backus

Paul Matzinger limped in from early position, and Brad Backus raised to 26,000 in the big blind. Matzinger three-bet to 55,000, and Backus called.

Backus checked the {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and Matzinger instantly announced, "All in," and flicked a chip into the pot to confirm the bet. Backus tanked for a minute, at one point asking Matzinger, "Do you have the aces?" then slammed in a call for his last 140,000.

Paul Matzinger: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Brad Backus: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Backus was correct on his read, and Matzinger claimed the last of Backus's chips after the {2-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} river failed to bring in a king for Backus.
