Matakis Gets Some Lady Luck to Dispatch Vig

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

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: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Ian Matakis: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Vig was primed to double but then the flop came down {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} 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 {8-Spades} bricked on the turn followed by the {9-Spades} on the river.

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