"Top Two. It's a Good Hand."

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos had a bet of 80,000 in front of him out of the big blind when we got to his table. The flop read {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Koray Aldemir had put in 200,000 on the button. Mateos shoved all in and Aldemir called for about 400,000 more.

Mateos: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Aldemir: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs} {a-Clubs} and the two pair held.

Anthony Zinno, who must have missed the action, asked Mateos what he had.

"Top two," the Spaniard responded. "It's a good hand."

Mateos Doubles Through Loosli in Massive Pot

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos Diaz
Adrian Mateos Diaz

Adrian Mateos and Sylvain Loosli were on the button and in the big blind, respectively, with a board of {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Loosli checked and Mateos moved all in for what would turn out to be 683,000, more than double the 300,000 or so in the pot. Loosli snap-called but his {k-Hearts}{6-Spades} two pair was no good as he had gotten unlucky on the river since Mateos held {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Kabrhel Shows the Nut-Low

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel bet 31,000 from the big blind on a board of {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Igor Kurganov had raised to 100,000 and Kabrhel was in the tank when we arrived. He moved his chips around and thought for a couple of minutes before Kurganov called a clock. The supervisor asked if it had been a reasonable time.

"Yes," Dominik Nitsche immediately piped in without looking up from his phone.

A few seconds later, Kabrhel called. They both checked the {8-Spades} and Kabrhel opened {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a missed draw. Kurganov showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}.
