Two In a Row for Mateos

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Stefan Schillhabel raised to 3,000 on the button and Adrian Mateos called from the big blind. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} and Mateos check-called a bet of 4,000 from Schillhabel.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and Mateos led out for 13,000. Schillhabel thought for a moment before making the call and the {6-Clubs} completed the board. Mateos fired again for 21,000 and Schillhabel instantly tossed his cards to the muck.

In the very next hand, Schillhabel opened to 3,000 again from the cutoff but this time Mateos three-bet to 14,000 out of the small blind. Schillhabel called to see a flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Both players checked to the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river. Mateos finally made a bet of 20,000 and Schillhabel laid his hand down again.
