Mateos Bleeding Chips
Hand 1
Adrian Mateos raised to 40,000 from under the gun before Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 105,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Mateos, who made the call.
Mateos checked the subsequent 5♣Q♥K♦ flop and Yurasov bet out 50,000 chips. Mateos called before the [7c turn and 7♦ river were checked by both players.
Mateos reluctantly showed 8♠8♥ but Yurasov had the higher pocket pair with J♠J♣ and won the pot.
Hand 2
The very next hand, Markkos Ladev raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Mateos defended the big blind. Ladev then continuation-bet for 40,000 on the J♣4♥5♥ flop and Mateos check-called. Mateos opted for another check on the 2♠ turn before calling a larger 160,000 bet from Ladev.
The K♥ river then completed the board and Mateos checked for a third time. This time, Ladev put his opponent all in, for 500,000 chips. Mateos did not think long before folding, leaving himself with 25 big blinds.
