Matta Mounting a Charge

Walid Rizkallah opened with a cutoff raise to 160,000, and big blind Nabil Matta made the smooth call to see a flop. It showed up {5-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, and Matta checked. Rizkallah continued out with another 200,000, and his opponent quickly called.

The turn card came the {2-Spades}, and this time Matta led out into the pot with 200,000 of his own chips. That was enough to get Rizkallah out of the way and send a nice chip-up pot over to Matta.

Rizkallah - 740,000
Matta - 1,710,000
