Mateos Takes a Big Pot with Aces
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened to 160,000 from early position, then called after Jorge Carvalho three-bet to 350,000 from the button.
Carvalho continued for 150,000 on a flop of 7♦Q♦Q♥ and Mateos called, then both players checked the J♣ turn.
The 9♦ river landed on the felt and Mateos decided to go all-in for approximately 1,600,000. Carvalho went deep into the tank and after several minutes, the clock was called and he announced "call".
Jorge Carvalho: K♠J♥ 
Adrian Mateos: A♦A♥
Carvalho called with two pair but ran into Mateos' aces. Carvalho only had 1,000,000 left, so he was eliminated.
On the next hand, Eshaan Bhalla received a walked and discovered... A♠A♣ in the big blind.
