Chauskin Flops Trips on Mateos Again
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Natan Chauskin opened to 60,000 with K♦10♦ from the hijack, prompting Alexander Seibt to fold A♦J♠ from the button. Adrian Mateos defended the big blind with Q♥8♥.
For the second time on the feature table, Chauskin flopped trips on Mateos as the dealer fanned a K♥J♥K♣ flop. Mateos check-raised to 100,000 over a bet of 30,000 and was called.
The 8♠ came on the turn and action checked through to the Q♠ river to give Mateos a better two pair. However, he was still behind Chauskin's monster.
Mateos sized down to 35,000, and Chauskin made it 250,000. A time bank card went into the middle from Mateos, and this time he correctly laid down his hand.
