Katz Kicks Out Mateos in Two

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

After doubling up with pocket nines and knocking down Adrian Mateos to a single 25,000 chip, Cary Katz was up to 2,150,000.

Mateos was forced all in the next hand from the big blind and saw Hannes Jeschka limp on the button. Katz called from the small blind and the players went three-ways to the 786 flop.

Katz check-raised to 200,000 after seeing Jeschka bet 50,000. Jeschka called and the players were dealt the 9 turn. Action was checked by both to see the K river and Katz bet 200,000. Jeschka tank-called, and all three players turned over their hands.

Adrian Mateos: 54All in
Hannes Jeschka: 87
Cary Katz: 109

Mateos had flopped a straight, but Katz got there with his spade flush on the river to take the pot and send Mateos to the rail.
