Mateos Doubles Into the Lead

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos raised to 246,000 first to act and Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian three-bet to 660,000 on the button. What followed was the shove of Mateos for just shy of 3.8 million and Martirosian gave it some thought before making the call.

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop was promising for Martirosian with the club flush draw but the {j-Spades} turn and {10-Diamonds} river were both blanks.

Mateos lost a portion of his stack in the next hand to "LeslieGroves" to remain in a very narrow lead.

Mateos vs Martirosian Part III
Mateos vs Martirosian Part III

A button raise to 264,000 by Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian led to a three-bet worth 900,000 in total as Rodrigo "Seijistar" Seiji in the small blind upped the aggression. Martirosian was in no mood of folding and came along to then earn a check by Seiji on the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, he bet 653,400 and that won the pot.

Two hands later, Martirosian battled with Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos who limped in and min-bet the {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, then led the {6-Hearts} turn for 540,000. Both times Martirosian came along and Mateos checked the {4-Clubs} on the river.

Martirosian now moved all in and Mateos called with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} to double through Martirosian's {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.
