Muhlocker sat with his right hand flat on the table, his head resting on his left palm, looking straight down while Stern contemplated if he wanted to risk his tournament life by making the call. Stern exhaled, bit his lower lip, and decided that he didn't as he slid his cards to the dealer. Muhlocker mucked, moving to 230,000 in chips with that pot.
With 55,000 in the pot and a rainbow flop containing three low cards, Adrian Mateos bet 27,000 and Scott Seiver put out a huge stack of blue T5,000 chips effectively setting Mateos all in as he only had 60,000 left after his initial wager.
Mateos went into the tank, exhaling several times.
