Zamani Can't Beat Mateos
Level 25
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Action was picked up with Adrian Mateos all in and Martin Zamani putting him at risk.
Adrian Mateos: 7♠7♥ 
Martin Zamani: A♥Q♠
When the cards were turned over, Zamani said, "Oh my god, this is the reverse of the hand when you beat me before," before adding, "Please just let me beat Adrian."
Zamani took a commanding lead after the 4♣A♣Q♣ flop, making top two pair. Then the turn brought flush chop outs after the J♣ hit, and Zamani said, "Please NO! It's better than losing but please!"
Unfortunately for Zamani, the poker gods had other plans, as the river brought the 9♣, giving both players a flush to chop the pot, and keep Mateos in the tournament.
