Mateos Spikes the River to Send Weissman Out

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joey Weissman was already all in preflop form the small blind against Adrian Mateos, who had Weissman covered in the big blind.

Joey Weissman: K♦Q♦ All in
Adrian Mateos: J♠J♥

The 6♣K♥7♥ flop vaulted Weissman into the lead with a pair of kings and the 4♠ turn kept him in the lead.

However, the J♣ river gave Mateos a winning set to eliminate Weissman in dramatic fashion.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Seth Davies in the small blind and Michael Moncek in the big blind were all in with nearly identical stacks.

Seth Davies: 10♥10♦ All in
Michael Moncek: A♣K♣

It was a flip with enormous equity implications for both players. The 5♥9♠A♠ flop immediately vaulted Moncek into the lead while the 4♠ turn left Davies needing a miracle to survive. A miracle did come on the 10♠ river to give Davies a massive double to leave Moncek with dust.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a board of A♠J♠Q♦K♠9♠, Viktor Blom had fired a river bet of 420,000 into Samuel Ju. It took a while for Ju to make a decision but eventually he decided to call, and was shown some bad news.

Blom flipped K♣Q♠ for the nut flush, and Ju could only muck his hand.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Start of day chipleader Masashi Oya was unable to replicate his dominating performance from Day 1 and found himself all in for his last 585,000 against Martin Kabrhel. Michael Moncek was also all in, though only for 25,000.

Michael Moncek: 10♣9♥ All in
Masashi Oya: A♦K♣ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♠Q♥

Oya had Kabrhel dominated, that is until the flop came 8♥6♠Q♣. Nothing changed for Oya on either the J♦ turn or 3♠ river, though Moncek did make a straight to more than triple up. Despite this, Moncek joined Oya to the rail a few hands later.

Samuel Ju and Roman Hrabec got it all-in preflop, with Hrabec at risk.

Roman Hrabec: A♠J♦ All in
Samuel Ju: A♣K♠

Hrabec pulled ahead on the 7♦6♠J♠ flop, pairing his jack, but the K♦ turn put Ju back in the lead, with a pair of kings. The river brought the 3♣, and Hrabec was sent to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened from middle position to 80,000 and Brandon Wilson three-bet to 180,000 from the hijack. Sergio Aido then cold four-bet to 385,000 from the cutoff, and Brewer made the fold. Wilson then shoved all in for around 850,000, and Aido snap-called.

Brandon Wilson: K♣K♥ All in
Sergio Aido: A♥A♣

The board brought no surprises as the runout of 10♥3♦3♥5♦8♣ meant Wilson was eliminated.
