Mathews v Yiltalo

Rory Mathews made it 36k under the gun and Robin Yiltalo called on the button. The blinds let them fight it out. Mathews led out for 40k on a flop of 2 5 5 and Yiltalo called. Mathews checked the 2 on the turn and Yiltalo fired 80k into the middle, which Mathews called. The 3 on the river was checked by Mathews and Yiltalo asked for a count of his opponent’s remaining chips. Eventually he checked and Mathews showed A J which was enough to scoop a big pot against Yiltalo’s K 6. Thoughtful stuff from both players.
