Mateos Doubles Under Pressure
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The action folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind. He open-jammed, covering the 448,000 chips big blind Adrian Mateos had in his possession. Mateos immediately called and the two showed down.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♥5♥
Adrian Mateos: A♠J♦
Mateos avoided disaster as the board ran out cleanly; 2♣K♥3♣8♠K♣ hit the felt. He raked in a big double up and left Ponakovs with just over 20 big blinds to play with on the bubble.
