Katz Sends Mateos to the Rail
Level 8
: 5,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With over 100,000 in the pot and 
on the board, Adrian Mateos checked from the big blind, Matthias Eibinger checked from under the gun, and Cary Katz bet 60,000.
Mateos called and Eibinger folded. The turn was 
.
Katz spent two time extensions considering his options before he shoved his last 375,000 into the middle. Mateos called and was covered. Katz turned over 
for a pair of kings and Mateos showed 
for the flush draw.
The river 
was a brick for Mateos and he was out of chips. Katz dragged the pot to move near 900,000 in Day 1 action.
Also at the table is Brian Rast, who just sat down with a fresh starting stack.
