Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
The pot stood at 8,500 with two players looking at a board that read 6?10?J?.
Adrian Mateos, in the big blind, checked the action to Mikita Badziakouski, on the button. Badziakouski bet out for 2,500 and Mateos called.
The A? turn saw a repeat of the action. This time Badziakouski sized up to 8,000.
The 6? river checked to a showdown. Mateos was first to show as he tabled 10?9?; good enough to send Badziakouski's cards to the muck.
