Mateos Left with Crumbs After Wenzelburger Hero Calls

Calum Grant

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 120,000 from early position and saw Philipp Wenzelburger defend from the big blind.

Wenzelburger check-called bets of 180,000 and 580,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 5♠3♠9♦3♥K♣.

Wenzelburger checked and Mateos fired a third barrel of 1,785,000, which left the Spaniard with 60,000 behind.

Wenzelburger counted out his stack, which covered Mateos, and he called to set up the 5,420,000 pot.

Mateos could only show jack-high with his J♠10♥, and Wenzelburger had made the massive call with 9♠7♠, which was good for just a pair of nines.
