Knox checked first prompting Matusik to throw out a bet totalling 175,000 in chips. Shi paused for a moment before announcing raise and cutting out a bet worth 350,000. Knox mucked his hand and Matusik called.
The 
completed the board and Matusik instantly bet out 400,000. Shi tanked for a minute before finally making the call.
