Matakis Loses a Battle of the Blinds
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The small blind limped in and Ian Matakis raised to 1,400 out of the big blind.
After it was checked to him on the 4♣3♥9♥ flop, Matakis bet 1,300 and his opponent called.
The J♦ appeared on the turn and both players checked. The small blind bet 3,000 on the Q♣ river and Matakis snap-called. The small blind showed A♦J♥ for a pair of jacks to win the pot.
Kelly Lucas was seen vacating the tournament at another table and has been eliminated from the Main Event.
