Under the gun, Ricardo Sousa raised to 14,000, and Antoino Matias re-raised to 25,000 in middle position. On the button, Matt Johns four-bet to 78,000 enough to quickly fold Sousa. Matias, though, announced an all in for 293,500. Johns instantly called, turning over . Matias took another 10 or 15 seconds to push his stacks over the line one-by-one, then he slapped his down on the felt. Johns had Matias covered by about 70,000, so it was the Portuguese native who was all in and at risk.
The dealer would run out a safe board for him: . With his aces holding, Matias has picked up a huge double over 600,000. Johns is left with just those 70,000 chips and a big frown.
