Matt Matros Eliminates Joel Fischbein

Joel Fischbein
Joel Fischbein
Joel Fischbein raised to 31,000 before the flop and Matt Matros called from the big blind. After the {5-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs} flop Matros checked and Fischbein bet 50,000. Matros check-raised to 160,000 and Joel made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and when Matros bet 250,000 Fischbein moved all in for his last 506,000. Matros made the call and his {7-Diamonds} {5-Spades} led Fischbein's {8-Spades} {7-Spades}. Joel had outs with his overcard and open-ended straight draw but the {10-Spades} on the river was of no help and he was knocked out of the Main Event. Matros is now up to 1.48 million.
