The player under the gun bet for 400 and Matt Russell was interested and made the call from the cutoff position, as well as the big-blind player.

The flop brought {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and, after a check from the big blind, the initial raiser continued with another bet and only Russell made the call. On the turn {j-Spades}, Russell called once more for 400. The river fell a {j-Clubs} and Russell 's opponent check-called his bet for 400 and tossed his hand into the muck after Russell tabled {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Russell, a former Real Estate Investor, finished eighth in Event #41: $1,500 Limit Hold'em earlier this summer for $14,820.
