Mateos’ Flush Hunt Goes Awry
Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Adrian Mateos returned from the first break with 7,400,000 and he didn’t hesitate to put it in play.
Mateos raised 1,000,000 on the button with 8♣7♣, and was called by [Removed:564], who was in the big blind with 10♠2♠.
The dealer placed 2♣4♣2♥ on the flop, giving [Removed:565] trip deuces and Mateos a flush draw. [Removed:565] checked, prompting Mateos to bet 650,000. [Removed:565] then check-raised to 1,500,000, which Mateos called.
The turn showed 9♠ and [Removed:565] bet 1,800,000, which Mateos called. The river 3♦ had [Removed:565] move all in, and Mateos mucked his busted flush-draw hand.
The hand cost Mateos more than half his stack.
