Marino Wins the Flip to Eliminate Matti
It was a slightly unusual flip between John Marino in the big blind and Armand Matti in the cutoff.
Action was caught on the flop of 2♥3♣4♣ and both players had already flipped over their cards, even though Matti had around 200,000 chips behind. Marino had A♦Q♦ and Matti had 9♥9♦.
Marino bet 200,000 on the flop to put Matti all in. Matti said he is not folding, and after a few moments put his chips in the middle and they were officially all in.
It wasn’t clear why Matti had turned over his hand, but Marino said he did it because he saw his opponent flip over his cards and thought they were all in.
The dealer dealt out the K♣ on the turn and Matti still looked good for the double-up. It was not over before the river, however, and the Q♠ that came was one of Marino’s outs to eliminate Matti.
