Mateos Loses a Flip to Bust Before the Final Table
Level 16
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Adrian Mateos came in for a raise to 240,000 from the cutoff before Pieter Aerts three-bet to 525,000 from the button. Mateos looked back at his cards and then ripped it all in for 2,510,000. Aerts made the call to put Mateos at risk.
Adrian Mateos: 9♦9♣ 
Pieter Aerts: A♣K♦
Mateos needed his pocket nines to hold up against the big slick of Aerts. However, the 6♠7♠A♠ flop put Aerts firmly in the lead with a pair of aces.
A 10♦ on the turn gave Mateos a straight draw and a few extra outs, but none of them came when the 6♥ completed the board.
Mateos was out in tenth, and the final table for the $100,000 High Roller Championship was set.
