Cold Deck Leaves Mateos on the Rail
Level 2
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Adrian Mateos and Alexandros Theologis became involved in a preflop raising war, where all the chips went into the middle preflop. Mateos found himself at risk with a starting stack of around 300,000.
Adrian Mateos: A♠A♦
Alexandros Theologis: K♠K♣
It was a clash of the two best starting hands, but Mateos looked poised for an early double-up. However, the flop of K♥6♦5♠ gave Theologis a set of kings and a big lead. The 2♥ on the turn and the 9♠ on the river were no help for Mateos, who was sent to the rail in the early going.
