Escalera Raises Mateos

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 7Q9 with 1,300 in the middle.

After having clawed some chips back following the loss of a big pot earlier, under the gun player Adrian Mateos put 700 forward. Mario Escalera made the call on the button.

The turn K checked through, bringing in the river 10. Mateos bet out again, this time for 2,200, only to see his opponent raise the price of poker to 9,000. Mateos went into the tank for a good few minutes, and eventually decided to lay his hand down.
