Oliver vs Mateos
Oliver vs Mateos

Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski had chipped up a ton to get into contention and it was then Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver who min-raised the button, picking up calls from Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos in the small blind and "efkinis24" in the big blind.

The {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop brought no action and Mateos bet the {8-Clubs} turn for 22,275, which only Oliver called. On the {5-Clubs} river, Mateos elected to check and Oliver bet 80,000 with 259,521 behind. The Spaniard then moved all in and sent Oliver deep into the think tank.

After using all but the last 15 seconds of time bank, Olver called it off with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a straight but Mateos had the best of it with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a full house.
