Mateos Takes the Lead

Calum Grant

Level 24 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Adrian Mateos limped in from the button and Nicholas Palma checked his option.

Palma check-called for 200,000 on the J♥10♣9♣ flop before the 7♦ turn checked through to the K♠ river.

Both players checked again. Palma had a pair of kings with K♦2♠ but it ws no good as Mateos had [kkc9h] for kings and nines.
