Matakis Eliminated by Negreanu
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu just flat-called against a raise by Ian Matakis and then checked the A♣7♠5♠ flop on which he check-raised from 75,000 to 225,000. Matakis called and they got their chips into the middle after the K♣ turn with Matakis at risk for around 900,000.
Ian Matakis: 10♥8♦7♣7♥
Daniel Negreanu: A♠A♦Q♣6♥
Matakis was on the ropes and couldn't find a miracle on the 3♠ river to hit the rail in the second level of play.
