Nuter Jams Into Mateos

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

In the final hand before the break, Timothy Nuter raised the button to 2,300 and Adrian Mateos came along from the big blind. Mateos opted for a check-raise to 6,000 on the {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, which Nuter paid.

Mateos activated his time bank on the {5-Spades} turn and bet 18,000, Nuter called. The {5-Diamonds} river paired the board and Mateos now checked. Nuter moved all-in and that forced a fold from the Spanaird.

Following a raise to 2,000 by Andras Nemeth, Bert Stevens three-bet to 7,700 in the hijack and picked up a call by Nemeth. The {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop was check-called by Nemeth for 5,742 and he did so again after long consideration on the {2-Spades} turn for another 21,662.
