Matt Affleck Has Rolled Through the Most Talented Final Table in Recent Memory

Matt Affleck is a man possessed, and like Marshawn Lynch - the running back who carried Affleck's beloved Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl - momentum means he cannot be stopped.

Affleck just crippled Josh Brikis - who led the chip counts throughout a dominating Day 2 run - by spiking his gin card on the river to make a well-disguised straight.

Here's what we saw. Brikis raised before the flop, and after Affleck flatted to defend in defense the flop came . Both players checked down in the battle of the blinds, and the turn card came . Brikis led out on fourth street with a big bet and Affleck flatted to see the complete the board on the river.

After Brikis fired away with a bet of about 275,000, Affleck took his time before raising to approximately 900,000 - a sizable reraise that left Brikis with chips to play with if he decided to make the call.

Call he did, but Brikis' cards were mucked when Affleck rolled over the for a rivered gutshot straight. His heart flush draw had failed to come through, but a red card cinched Affleck nonetheless, as the six filled in a straight Brikis likely never saw coming. He paid the big bet off though, and most of his stack was shipped one seat to the left to the man with Seattle swag.
