Matheson Makes Meyers a Goner
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Joe Matheson raised it up to 44,000, and Brandon Meyers flipped his cards over in the big blind after silently putting in some chips, only to see he actually had a little more than the raise. The floor was called, and it was ruled that since Meyers didn't say anything, the last 4,000 would have to wait for the flop.
Matheson tabled his 
anyways, and he was ahead of Meyers' 
.
Both players flopped pair as the dealer spread 
, and Meyers put the last of it in. He didn't improve on the 
turn or 
river, and the Day 1a leader made his way to the payout desk.
