Matt Staples is one of the 14 players still remaining in the £500 Main Event. No PartyPoker Tour Ambassador made it in the money, but Matt and his brother Jaime both managed to turn a profit in the tournament.
Matt just opened to 60,000 UTG. Seated in the Lo-jack, James Fowler was the sole caller. Matt check-called an 85,000 Fowler-bet on the 4♦9♦K♥ flop. Action then went check-check on the 7♦ turn. Matt took the aggressive lead and fired 300,000 on the K♠ river. Fowler spent perhaps four minutes in the tank before deciding to fold.
James Fowler: 1,400,000
Matt Staples: 1,000,000
