Level 21
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened to 250,000 from under the gun and Erik Seidel defended in the big blind.
Seidel checked on the 7♦5♦9♠ flop and Mateos continued for 350,000. Seidel called. Seidel then led out for 500,000 on the 9♥ turn and Mateos called.
The J♠ river completed the board and Seidel sized up to 2,000,000 to bring a quick call from Mateos. Seidel showed 10♣8♦ for a rivered straight and Mateos mucked in defeat as he told the Poker Hall of Famer and music enthusiast he had a nine.
