Mateos Applies Pressure on Ivey
Level 18
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Phil Ivey was in the big blind when he called with 6♠5♠ after Adrian Mateos in the hijack raised to 480,000 with K♦10♣.
Mateos continued for 925,000 on the 9♣5♥4♥ flop and was called, then checked back the A♣ turn.
Ivey with the fourth pair checked the Q♣ river and saw Mateos bet a massive 2,875,000, almost the size of the pot. Ivey seemed to have no choice but to fold.
