Matros Runs Into Walls

Before the flop, Michael Walls came in with a raise from the button. Matt Matros gave him action from the small blind, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer ran the first three community cards: {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Matros checked, and Walls kept the pressure on with a bet of 13,000. Not to be deterred, Matt Matros put in a check-raise to 45,000. Without much delay, Walls moved all in for a total of 84,000. His opponent didn't like it, but he was priced in and made the call.

Showdown:
Walls: {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs}
Matros: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}

The turn and river failed to help Matros, as the {2-Clubs} and {A-Hearts} completed the board. He sends a good chunk of his chips over to the adjacent seat, and Michael Walls has doubled his way up to 195,000.
