Mateus Sends One Out
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 2,500 ante
Javier Gorgolas bet 2,500 from under the gun on a flop of J♦7♣2♥ and Ricardo Mateus raised to 10,000 in early position. A player in middle position then moved all in for 38,000 and Gorgolas folded, but Mateus called to put him at risk.
All-In Player: J♣9♥ 
Ricardo Mateus: A♣J♥
Mateus had his opponent dominated and barely covered as the turn came the 2♦. The 5♥ river was safe for Mateus as he took the pot to score the knockout.
