Battaglia Bounced

We went to check in on Matt Matros just in time to see him play a big pot. Matros opened for a raise from early position that was called by a player in late position before small blind Jeff Battaglia moved all in for about 16,000. That induced an all-in reraise from Matros, which was enough to drive the third player out of the pot. Cards on their backs, gentlemen!

Matros: {A-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Battaglia: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

Battaglia cheered when he saw the dealer put out an {8-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop, not realizing that Matros had also paired his kicker. He stood up as the turn and river came {4-Spades} and {5-Spades} to bounce him from the tournament.

"I didn't see your ten," Battaglia said by way of explanation to a puzzled Matros. He shook a few hands and left the Brasilia Room.

Matros now has 73,000.
