Level 3 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Adrian Mateos raised to 18,000 in middle position, Leon Sturm flatted in the cutoff, and Emilien Pitavy defended in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of 5♣9♦3♥ and it checked to Mateos, who continued with a bet of 22,000. Only Sturm called to see the 5♥ turn.

Both players checked to the 5♦ river, where Mateo bet 140,000. Sturm took some time to think through his decision before flicking in the call.

Mateos tabled 10♣9♣ for a full house, fives full of nines, to take down the pot.
