One Right Call; One Wrong Call

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

In a heads-up pot on a board of 46JA3, Adrian Mateos put Teun Mulder to the test by betting 554,000 with just a few chips behind.

Mulder, who had a stack of 475,000, mulled over a call and used two time banks before doing so. Mateos could only show king-high with KQ as Mulder turned over J9 to win the pot with a pair of jacks.

At another table, Erik Seidel bet 100,000 on the river against Chris Hunichen with the board reading AJ5Q9. Hunichen called and then mucked as the Poker Hall of Famer showed A9 for aces up.

Heads up to the flop of A610 with 100,000 in the pot. Adam Hendrix led out from under the gun for 45,000 and was called by Charles Thomas in the hijack.

The action went check, check on the 10 turn for the players to see the K peel off on the river.

Hendrix checked to Thomas, who fired off a river bet of 120,000. Hendrix thought for a while and tossed in the call, tabling QQ and catching Thomas at it with 3x2x.
