New Chip Leader
Level 21
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Bryn Kenney raised to 1,300,000 with 8♠8♣ on the button, and Adrian Mateos called holding 5♣3♠ in the big blind to see the 6♥4♥9♦ flop.
Mateos checked to Kenney, who checked back before the 7♣ turn was revealed. Another check from Mateos was met with a bet of 4,000,000. Mateos took some time before counting out the call after making a straight.
The 4♦ river paired the board, and Mateos checked once more. Kenney fired 14,500,000 into the middle, and Mateos tossed in the call.
Kenney tabled his two pair, while Mateos showed his straight to claim the chip lead.
