Parry Drags A Big Pot From Matakis

Chris Land

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Matthew Parry raised from the button to 750,000 from the button and got called by both Dustin Goldklang in the small blind and Ian Matakis in the big blind leading to a 10♣8♦Q♥ flop.

Goldkland and Matakis both checked to Parry who continued with a bet of 850,000. Goldklang got out of the way but Matakis called to see the K♣ hit the turn.

Matakis opted to check again only to see Parry toss out another bet, this time for 2,400,000. Matakis paused briefly before putting in the call to see the 2♣ fall on the river.

Action checked through to showdown and Parry quickly tabled the A♣J♦7♠5♠ for the nut straight. Matakis tossed his cards towards the muck and Parry collected what had become a pretty big pot.

Matthew Parry called from the small blind, and Dustin Goldklang bet for 800,000. Parry called to the flop.

The flop came A♠9♠7♦, and Perry quickly checked. Goldklang fired for 1,000,000 and received a call from Goldklang.

While the turn came the J♥, both players checked around.

The river was the 7♥, and Parry led out for 1,400,000. Goldklang raised to 5,000,000, putting Parry in a tough spot. After taking his time to consider, Parry made the fold for Goldklang to scoop the pot uncontested.

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Dustin Goldklang bet 700,000 from the button. Matthew Parry, in the big blind, bet pot for 2,275,000 and was quickly repotted. Parry called for his tournament life as both players revealed their hands.

Dustin Goldklang: A♠A♦2♦6♥
Matthew Parry: K♥K♦J♦6♣

The board ran out J♥2♥K♠4♠4♣ for Parry's Kings to find Kings Full of Fours.

Perry is no stranger to Pot-Limit Omaha tourneys, as four out of five cashes within the series have stemmed from Pot-Limit Omaha or Mixed Game variants.
