Aces Again for Matros

Just before Table #1 broke, redistributing its players among the other two dozen or so tables left in play, we had one last interesting hand there.

David Saab raised to 30,000 from the button, Matt Matros reraised to 90,000 from the small blind, and David Benefield called from the big blind. Saab folded, and the two remaining players saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Matros bet 130,000, and Benefield called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Both checked.

The river brought the {8-Hearts}. Both checked. Matros showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}, and Benefield mucked. Matros is up to 1.195 million, and Benefield is at 850,000.
