Mateos Wins Race to Send Shylko Out
Level 5
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 8,000 from the hijack and was called by Sean Winter on the button. Adrian Mateos then squeezed to 38,000 from the big blind, which was met with a shove from Shylko for approximately 150,000 total. Winter got out of the way and Mateos called to put Shylko at risk.
Aliaksandr Shylko: J♠J♦
Adrian Mateos: A♥K♦
It was a fair fight, but the K♥5♥7♥5♣8♥ runout left Mateos best with a flush to eliminate Shylko, who quickly reentered.
