Mateos Survives with a Small Double
Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jans Arends raised to 1,000,000 on the button and Adrian Mateos shoved all in for 2,100,000 in the small blind. Cary Katz folded his big blind and Arends quickly called.
Adrian Mateos: Q♥9♦
Jans Arends: K♦Q♠
The flop came A♣9♥8♥ and Mateos picked up a pair of nines to take the lead. The 7♦ and 5♥ runout changed nothing and Mateos doubled up to survive.
