Chong Takes Small Pot Off Mateo
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Christopher Mateo raised to 130,000 and earned calls from Alex Chong as well as Thomas Ward out of the blinds. On a flop of K♣Q♣7♦, Chong was the only one to check-call a bet of 250,000 by Mateo.
Both then checked the 4♣ turn and Chong bet the 6♠ river for 250,000. Mateo prepared calling chips and rifled them while pondering about his decision. He ultimately folded and showed the K♠. Chong exposed his K♥Q♥ and both players bumped fists.
