Mateos Makes a Boat
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Joe McKeehen raised to 100,000 on the button with 4♥4♦ and was called by the big blind Adrian Mateos with A♦5♥.
The flop came 5♠5♦Q♠ to give Mateos trips, and he check-raised McKeehen's bet of 70,000, to 225,000. McKeehen made the call.
The turn brought the A♥ to give Mateos a full house, but he elected to set the trap and check, but McKeehen checked as well to see the 10♥. Mateos then went for a big bet of 600,000 but that got a quick fold from McKeehen to give Mateos the pot.
