Mateus Quadruples Up

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Bogdan Pop raised to 1,000 under the gun and Marius Varanavicius called in early position. Ricardo Mateus then moved all in for 3,500 in the hijack and Stewart Davie called on the button, as did Pop and Varanavicius.

All three players checked down the Q♦6♣A♥2♥8♣ board. Varanavicius showed first and turned over 7♦7♥.

"Okay, so far I'm good," Mateus said.

"I have a queen," Pop added.

"Which queen?" Mateus asked, and Pop showed Q♠10♠. Mateus, though, had K♦Q♣ and won the pot with his king-kicker to quadruple up.

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Around 11,000 was in the pot as Laurynas Jakutis and Shi Dong went to the turn on a board of 5♣5♦7♥2♣. Jakutis then moved all in for 18,600 in middle position and Dong thought about the decision for a minute before calling in the small blind.

Jakutis showed A♣10♣ for a flush draw, while Dong was ahead with A♦K♥. The 9♣ fell on the river to complete Jakutis' flush and earn him the double up.

"Just write, 'hero gets f**ked," tablemate Cameron Williamson said after the hand.

"Fish gets lucky," Christopher Hendry added.

"Yeah, that's even better. Fish gets lucky," Williamson said before complimenting Dong on the hero-call gone wrong.
