Matte Boosts His Stack
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Elia Ahmadian raised to 125,000 from the hijack and Scott Matte called from the big blind.
Both players elected to check the 6♣8♥3♦ flop to the Q♥ turn. Matte checked, Ahmadian bet 175,000, and Matte called.
A 4♣ completed the board and after Matte checked, Ahmadian took his time before he checked back.
Matte tabled 9♦8♦ for a pair of eights, and Ahmadian mucked.
