Adrian Mateos defended his big blind against a small blind open to 3,600.

The flop came down {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, the small blind bet 3,700 and Mateos called.

The turn of {6-Spades} checked through and on the river of {9-Clubs} the small blind led out 7,700 which after some thought, Mateos raised to 15,400. The small blind went into the tank for 30-seconds and he folded, giving Mateos the pot.
