Level 22 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind Adrian Mateos who raised all in for his stack of 2,850,000, which was snap-called by the big blind Sinan Unlu.

Adrian Mateos: K♦3♦ All in
Sinan Unlu: 4♦4♣

Mateos, who lost the majority of his stack in a blind on blind situation against Unlu, found himself needing help to avoid being eliminated by Unlu. The 7♥8♣10♦ changed nothing, but he 2♦ on the turn gave Mateos extra outs in the form of a flush draw. However, the 7♣ on the river was no help for Mateos, and he was knocked out by Unlu.
