Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Aaron Van Blarcum raised to 1,200 in early position and was called by the cutoff and the small blind. In the big blind, Ian Matakis three-bet to 6,600 and was called by only Van Blarcum.

The flop came out {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and saw Matakis continue for 4,100 which Van Blarcum called.

The turn peeled off a {3-Hearts} and Matakis checked to Van Blarcum who bet 8,500. Matakis raised to 20,000 to put Van Blarcum all-in and he called.

Aaron Van Blarcum: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Ian Matakis: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The river came a {k-Spades}, changing the strength of neither players hand and Van Blarcum headed off to the rebuy cage as Matakis collected his chips.
