Matakis Pulls Even
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 6,000 ante
Ian Matakis defended his big blind against an open to 25,000 by Jeff Petronack out of the small blind. The flop came 
and Matakis checked. Petronack made a continuation-bet of 40,000 and Matakis called.
The turn was 
and both players checked. The river fell 
and Matakis threw out a bet of what looked to be 41,000. Petronack threw his cards into the muck immediately and Matakis took back his bet, awaiting the pot that would give him an ever-so-slight chip lead as stacks now are almost dead even as the match nears 40 minutes in length.
