Mateos Pays Off Moss

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Matthew Moss opened to 11,500 from the under-the-gun position and was called by Adrian Mateos in the big blind. Both players checked the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop and the {J-Hearts} appeared on the turn, which prompted a check by Mateos. Moss made it 21,000 to go and Mateos called.

On the {4-Hearts} river, Mateos checked once more and Moss bet 54,500. Mateos gave it some thought and called, but mucked as soon as he was shown the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} by Moss.

Chobineh Four-Bet Jams Into Vieira

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bahram Chobineh raised to 13,000 and Joao Vieira in the big blind clicked it up to 56,000. Chobineh moved all in and Vieira asked for a count.

The jam of Chobineh was for 508,000 and Vieira used one time bank before sending his cards into the muck.

"Show one?!" the Portuguese asked, but Chobineh just mucked. Both then guessed each other's possible hands and Chobineh asked if Vieira had folded jacks.

"He had shit, maybe one jack," Mustapha Kanit chimed in and caused laughter at the table.

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Dario Sammartino
Dario Sammartino

Kai Lehto raised to 13,000 and Dario Sammartino called.

The pair checked the {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Lehto check-called 18,000 on the {j-Clubs} turn. The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Lehto checked and Sammartino bet 36,000. Lehto called.

Sammartino reluctantly turned over {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair, but perhaps fearing the worst. Luckily for him, Lehto released his cards into the muck and the Italian took down the pot.
