Mateos Forces Phua to Fold
Level 11
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Paul Phua opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 16,000, and Adrian Mateos defended his big blind.
The flop came Q♥9♣9♥, and Mateos check-called a bet of 15,000 from Phua.
Both players checked the 8♥ on the turn, which then brought the 10♣ on the river. Mateos fired out a bet of 56,000, and after giving it some thought, Phua reluctantly mucked his hand to give the pot to Mateos.
