Newey Takes a Chunk from Mateos
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Newey raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 12,000 in the small blind. Newey responded with a four-bet to 35,000 and Mateos just called.
The flop came 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn. Mateos checked again and Newey splashed in a bet of 36,500. Mateos called and the 
completed the board.
Both players tapped the table and Mateos flipped over 
. Newey had that beat with 
and raked in a healthy pot in the opening level.
"Great river for you," Grafton pointed out to Newey with a chuckle.
