Mateos Shows Down Third Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and received calls from Adrian Mateos in the small blind and Artur Martirosian in the big blind.
The flop came K?9?5? and action checked around to Ponakovs, who bet 3,000. Both Mateos and Martirosian made the call.
All three players checked both the 10? turn and 3? river. Mateos tabled 9?8? for a pair of nines which was good enough to take the pot.
