Mateos Hero Calls Ace-High
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Adrian Mateos made a raise to 8,000 from under the gun and found one caller, Gab Yong Kim in the big blind. Kim checked the subsequent 8♣10♣10♠ flop and Mateos continued for 6,000 chips. Kim called and the 3♠ turn saw the light of day.
Kim decided to lead for a small sizing of 5,000 and Mateos just called. The 5♦ river completed the board and Kim upped his sizing significantly, 33,000 chips was the bet. Mateos took a few seconds before making the call.
Kim showed 7♣6♠ for a failed bluff, and Mateos tabled A♠K♠ for just ace-high. Kim complimented his opponent's play while the Spaniard stacked up his newly acquired chips.
