Matros Takes The Chip Lead

Ramey Shaio raised under the gun to 45,000, forcing folds from everyone but Matt Matros in the big blind. He defended his blind, and they were off to a flop, which came {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. After both players checked, the dealer put the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Matros fired out 53,000, and Shaio made the call. The river was the {j-Diamonds}, and Matros kept his foot on the gas, fired out 135,000 this time. Shaio tanked for about 30 seconds before calling, and he mucked when Matros showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for two pair.

The two players are very close at the top, but that pot gave Matros a slight edge.
