Mateos Jams on Kanit

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 11,000 in the cutoff and was called by Mustapha Kanit and Eelis Parssinen in the blinds. The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked to Mateos who continued for 10,000. Kanit check-raised to 36,000 which got Parssinen to fold but Mateos called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Kanit fired out another bet of 45,000. Mateos still called and the {k-Clubs} completed the board. Kanit checked this time and Mateos used a time bank before announcing all in for over 200,000.

Kanit went deep into the tank, using up four of his time banks. More than two minutes later, Kanit finally let it go and Mateos dragged in the pot.
