On the first hand of the tournament, Adrian Mateos opened to 13,000 under the gun before Artur Martirosian three-bet to 45,000 on the button. Mateos called, and they saw a flop of Q♣9♣K♥.
Martirosian continued for 52,000, and Mateos called. Both players checked the A♠ turn, and the 7♣ fell on the river. Martirosian then bet 80,000, and Mateos quickly called.
Martirosian showed K♠Q♠ for two pair, but Mateos had A♦Q♦ for aces and queens to win the pot.
