Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Aliaksei Boika called on the button, and Maxime Chilaud followed suit in the big blind. Mateos continued for 45,000 on the J♠4♦Q♣ flop, seeing both opponents call to the 9♥ turn.

Mateos continued firing, sizing up to 160,000. Boika stuck around and called, and Chilaud check-called for a second time as well.

The 8♦ was dropped on the river and slowed down the action. The trio all checked to showdown, where Chilaud turned over Q♠J♣ for two pair.

Mateos' K♥K♦ and Boika's K♣Q♥ disappeared into the muck as the sizable pot was shipped to the Frenchman.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Joao Tomas made it 30,000 to go in the cutoff, after which Luca Guglielmoni jammed all in for 160,000 on the button. Adrian Mateos called in the big blind, and Tomas obliged with a call as well.

Mateos checked the 3♦7♣6♠ flop to Tomas, who created a side pot by betting 100,000. Matteos spent a time bank before he folded his 8♥8♦, leaving the remaining duo to show down.

Luca Guglielmoni: A♣10♠ All in
Joao Tomas: A♠J♠

Matteos had folded the best hand, leaving Tomas to take the pot as the 4♥Q♦ runout changed nothing. Guglielmoni headed to the payout desk while Tomas chipped up to a near six-figure stack.
