Mateos Takes from Vogelsang, Martirosian Out

Level 4 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 22,000 in early position and Christoph Vogelsang called from the big blind. The flop came 10109 and Vogelsang check-called a bet from Mateos.

The turn was the Q and Vogelsang checked again. Mateos fired out another bet of 70,000 and Vogelsang still called. The 3 hit the river and Vogelsang checked for the third time. Mateos put out a bet of 275,000 which forced Vogelsang into the tank for a minute before folding.

On the next table, Artur Martirosian was also eliminated after being dwindled down to roughly 300,000 chips. Steven Veneziano was the beneficiary of his chips as he was seen collecting the pot.
