Matros Shies Away from River Raise

Austen Johnson got fancy on the river.

We caught up with this hand on the river between Austen Johnson and Matt Matros. The board showed {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {8-Spades} {10-Spades} {K-Spades} and Matros was first to act and bet 43,000. After a short pause Johnson slid out 96,000 - just slightly more than a min-raise.

The small raise and four spades on the board must have set off bells in Matros' head. He folded rather quickly after the raise amount was counted.
