Monster Flop for Chauskin; Mateos Puts on a Cape

Adrian Mateos opened A♠K♣ to 50,000 from the cutoff. Natan Chauskin defended the big blind with the dominated A♦5♦.

Chauskin smashed the 5♥5♣4♠ flop and check-raised to 140,000 over a bet of 40,000 and was called.

The 2♣ turn left Mateos drawing to a chop, and he called a bet of 200,000 with his Big Slick.

The 10♣ river completed the board and Chauskin led out for 500,000 with his trips. Mateos used up three time banks before making the hero-call.

Chauskin raked in the 1,815,000 pot and leapfrogged his opponent in the chip counts.
