There's a gigantic obstacle to victory out the way of the remaining 7 players in the $15,000 NLH 8-Handed, after poker great Adrian Mateos was eliminated in 8th position.
Mateos moved all-in for his remaining 1,800,000, with only Victor Chong making the call.
Adrian Mateos: K♥J♥
Victor Chong: 8♣8♠
It was a classic race, and Chong could not look as the 9♠4♦3♠Q♣6♣ board ran out clean for his snowmen. Mateos graciously knuckled the table in defeat and the future Hall of Famer departed to the cash desk.
