Mateos’ Small Pocket Pair Good Enough
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Four-time WSOP bracelet winner Adrian Mateos and Brian Kim were involved in a hand with approximately 28,000 in the pot after the flop, which showed 7♠8♣3♥.
Mateos, who was in early position, checked to Kim, who bet 20,000. Mateos looked at the board before calling.
The turn produced 8♠, which both players checked. The river had Q♠ and the action didn’t pick up. Mateos checked and Kim checked behind, prompting Mateos to table 6♠6♣. Kim mucked his hand, as the dealer pushed the 62,000 pot to Mateos.
