The Last Champ Falls as Mateos Runs Into Queens
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Shortly after doubling up Jonathan Pastore, Adrian Mateos was faced with a three-bet of 150,000 from Timo Kamphues on the button and moved all in for 600,000 in early position. Kamphues called.
Adrian Mateos: A♠Q♠
Timo Kamphues: Q♦Q♥
Kamphues had picked up queens to leave Mateos at serious risk of elimination. The 2♥10♦4♠3♦Q♣ board didn't provide him any help as Kamphues spiked the last queen to make a set and send the 2013 champion to the rail.
