Arends Check-Raises to Win Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised 650,000 with A♦8♦ under the gun and met resistance from Jans Arends, who defended his big blind with 6♥4♦.
Arends was rewarded for his bullish defense when the dealer fanned 4♥10♣6♠ on the flop, giving Arends bottom two pair. Arends checked and Mateos checked behind.
The K♦ on the turn brought some action after Arends checked. Mateos bet 1,100,000 and then faced a 3,200,000 check-raise from Arends. Mateos immediately mucked his hand.
