Matt Matros Wins a Big Pot With a Set

(The pre-river betting action for this hand was provided by Allen Kessler, seated at the same table.)

Matt Matros raises from the cutoff, and he gets three callers — the button, the small blind, and the big blind. The flop comes [Jh6h3d], it’s checked to Matros, who bets about 9,000, and all three players call.

The turn card is the [10h], it’s checked to Matros again, and he bets a little more than 20,000. The button calls, and the blinds fold.

The river card is the [7d], Matros bets 68,000, and the button tanks for a while before he calls with [Jd10s] — top two pair. But Matros turns over [3h3s] to win the pot with a set of threes.
