Level 2
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a heads-up pot on a flop of 8♥9♠7♦, Adrian Mateos checked from the hijack and Bin Weng checked back from the cutoff.
Mateos bet 18,000 on the 7♣ turn and Weng called. Both players then checked on the A♥ river as Mateos showed a missed straight draw with Q♣J♣, while the breakout player showed the winner with A♣10♠ for a pair of aces.
As Weng took in the pot, Daniel Negreanu walked by as he made his way to Event #22: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship.
"Where's Limit Hold'em?" Negreanu asked as he passed by. "What are these losers playing?"
