Mateus Triples as Minervini, Armstrong Show the Same Hand
Level 6
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Ricardo Mateus moved all in for 7,700 from under the gun and Fraser Armstrong called on the button. Felice Minervini then reshoved in the big blind and Armstrong tanked for a minute before calling for his last 15,000.
Ricardo Mateus: A♣Q♥ 
Fraser Armstrong: 10♥10♣
Felice Minervini: 10♠10♦
"I'm not that bad," Mateus said as the flop came Q♠6♣8♦, giving him top pair and the lead.
"You still have outs," he told his two opponents, but they were left drawing dead after the 6♥ turn. The river was the J♦ and Mateus tripled up.
"It's because of the camera," Minervini joked with Mateus, pointing out the 888poker media that was recording Mateus.
"Stay there the entire tournament," Mateus said to the cameraman.
