Matt Downs Defends
Nível 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Table draws are important in tournament poker, so it is less than ideal to find yourself seated at the chip leader's table and potentially facing 10 levels of play.
That is the situation in which players at Table 45 find themselves as Matt Downs is the only player in the tournament with a stack of over 300,000. One of the players at that table is Kitty Kuo. Another is Marc-Andre Ladouceur who just opened an early pot from late position for 2,800 and Downs called from the small blind.
Downs checked in the dark and the flop was 
. Ladouceur bet 3,500 and Downs called.
The turn card 
was checked through, then on the river 
Downs bet 20,000. Ladouceur didn’t look wholly convinced, but nevertheless he let his hand go.
