Matakis Outflushes Hendrix
Level 23
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
In the last hand of the previous level, Ian Matakis raised pot to 420,000 preflop. The action folded to Adam Hendrix in the small blind, who repotted for 1,380,000, enough to put Matakis all-in. Jesse Lonis folded his big blind and Matakis made the call.
Ian Matakis: 10?10?6?3?
Adam Hendrix: K?K?9?7?
"I don't have a very good hand," Matakis noted, "but it could win." Indeed it could, when the flop came J?K?5? to make both players a flush, with Matakis having Hendrix pipped.
However, Hendrix still had full house outs as he had flopped a set of kings as well. The turn 6? and river 8? would remain clean, though, and Matakis secured a double-up.
