Mateos on the Comeback Trail
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos jammed his last 13,500 into the middle from the hijack with Masashi Oya calling from the big blind.
Adrian Mateos: Q♥J♠
Masashi Oya: 10♠9♣
The 8♣J♣4♦ flop gave Mateos top pair, but Oya had a straight draw. The 9♠ turn gave Oya some additional outs as the A♥ fell on the river and Mateos' pair of jacks earned him the double.
