Freddy Mateo Wins a Prize!

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Freddy Mateo was in the cutoff position and raised to 2,200. The small blind, and two players from early position called after limping. The flop came {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the small blind shipped all-in for 4,500. Action folded to Mateo who reluctantly threw in a call.

Mateo: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Small blind: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

The small blind slow played his aces to perfection. However, the board ran out {5-Clubs} and {10-Diamonds}, as Mateo spiked his set of tens on the river. After the hand, Mateo asked, "Do I win a prize?" The only thing he received for cracking aces was the pot.
