Mateos Sent to the Rail
Level 26
: Blinds 12,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
At the main feature table and after doubling up through Adrian Mateos, Alexis Delgorgue opened from under the gun with 5♠5♦. He was called by Mourad Shaimi in the hijack, then Mateos in the hijack moved all-in for 20,000.
Both players in the blinds called and checked a flop of 9♥9♠A♥. Delgorgue checked as well but Shaimi bet 50,000 to make everybody fold.
Adrian Mateos: A♦7♠
Mourad Shaimi: A♣10♣
Mateos needed a lucky runout to split and an even luckier one to win the hand. But the 7♦ turn and the 6♥ river didn't help him and he was eliminated.
