Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ian Matakis, who has been on a heater as of late, raised to 40,000 under the gun only to have David Vig three-bet jam for 206,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all got out of the way and Matakis gave it some thought before making the call.

David Vig:
Ian Matakis:

Vig was primed to double but then the flop came down to pair the queen of Matakis.

Vig called for a ten, which would give him a Broadway straight, but his request fell on deaf ears as the bricked on the turn followed by the on the river.

Vig saw his tournament come to an end in 31st place for $3,416.
