and Matakis checked. Petronack fired 10,000 and received a call to bring the turn 
.
Matakis checked again and Petronack continued, firing out another 25,000. Matakis thought for a few moments and then called. The river fell 
and Matakis checked. Petronack checked behind to take the hand to showdown.
Matakis showed 
for a pair of jacks and Petronack tabled 
for a rivered two pair, eights and fours to earn him the pot and increase his chip lead.
