Call Brings Matros Chips

Matt Matros
Matt Matros
Just had a big exchange of chips happen between Matt Matros and Brian Hansen. Matros raised to 15,000 from late position, and Hansen called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Hansen checked, Matros bet 21,000, then Hansen check-raised to 58,000. Matros called.

The turn was the {2-Spades}. Hansen checked. This time Matros bet 85,000. Hansen again check-raised him, this time to 190,000. Again, Matros made the call.

The river was the {5-Hearts}. Hansen fired out 210,000. Matros thought a bit, then called. Hansen showed {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for second pair. Matros turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for top pair, slapping his hands together once as he saw the big pot was his.

Matros is up to 1.2 million now, and Hansen has slipped to 400,000.
