Adrian Mateos Eliminated in 2nd Place ($151,200)
Level 24
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Adrian Mateos shoved for 2,500,000 on the button and Nicholas Palma called from the big blind.
Adrian Mateos: A♦9♣
Nicholas Palma: A♥6♥
Both players found an ace on the A♣7♥5♦ flop, but Mateos remained ahead with the better kicker.
"I gotta get lucky sometimes, Mateos," Palma said.
Lady luck then came to the aid of Palma as the 4♣ turn and 3♥ river gave him a seven-high straight to book the most important victory of Palma's career.
