River of Dreams for Mateos, Wakil Eliminated
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and only Jamil Wakil called, defending his big blind.
Mateos continued with a bet of 5,000 on the K♣Q♥7♣ flop, only to see Wakil put in a check-raise to 15,000. Undeterred, Mateos called.
Wakil wasted little time in moving all in for 32,000 on the 6♠ turn, and Mateos made the immediate call to put him at risk.
Jamil Wakil: K♥J♥ 
Adrian Mateos: A♠Q♠
A promising situation soon turned sour for Wakil, as the dealer burned and turned the Q♦ river, improving Mateos to trip queens and sending Wakil to the rail.
