Mateos Cracks Aces, Lin Eliminated
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ren Lin opened to 3,000 in early position, which Adrian Mateos three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. When the action returned to Lin, he four-bet to 35,000, and Mateos called.
The dealer spread a 10♦4♦3♣ flop, and Lin continued for 30,000. Mateos raised to 78,000 and called when Lin three-bet shoved for 226,000.
Ren Lin: A♠A♣
Adrian Mateos: A♦9♦
The J♦ turn saw Lin drawing dead, with the inconsequential 10♠ completing the board.
