Matte Boosts His Stack
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Elia Ahmadian raised to 125,000 from the hijack and Scott Matte called from the big blind.
Both players elected to check the 6?8?3? flop to the Q? turn. Matte checked, Ahmadian bet 175,000, and Matte called.
A 4? completed the board and after Matte checked, Ahmadian took his time before he checked back.
Matte tabled 9?8? for a pair of eights, and Ahmadian mucked.
