Mateos Scoops a Big Pot with Just King High
Level 17
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised to 400,000 from early position, receiving a call from Ben Tollerene, in the big blind.
The 6♠9♠9♦ flop checked through to the J♦ on the turn. Tollerene checked again and Materos bet out 650,000. Tollerene check-raised to 1,900,000 and Mateos called.
The 9♣ fell on the river and both players took a considerable amount of time, considering all their options, before checking to a showdown.
Tollerene tabled Q♣10♣ for a missed straight draw, while Mateos held K♠7♠ for a missed flush draw. However, Mateos' king-high was good at showdown and he scooped this big pot.
