Bullets Shoot Abghari Down

Matthew Matros, who seems to be involved in many of the major pots, reached a {3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop in position with Ahmad Abghari where both players went loco, Matros putting in a final raise of 60,000.

The {3-Spades} turn was an interesting card, and one that elicted a check from Abghari. Matros led and Abghari called.

The {5-Spades} river was yet another potentially action killing/halting card which led to Abghari turning aggressor with a bet of 30,000. However, when Matros immediately made it 60,000, Abghari picked up his chips with a firm shake of the head before throwing them in and being shown {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}.

Abghari inevitably mucked his hand and looked down dejectedly at his now 67,000 stack. Matros, meanwhile, is now up to 550,000 and second in chips to Terrence Chan.
