Monster Flop for Chauskin; Mateos Puts on a Cape
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened A?K? to 50,000 from the cutoff. Natan Chauskin defended the big blind with the dominated A?5?.
Chauskin smashed the 5?5?4? flop and check-raised to 140,000 over a bet of 40,000 and was called.
The 2? turn left Mateos drawing to a chop, and he called a bet of 200,000 with his Big Slick.
The 10? river completed the board and Chauskin led out for 500,000 with his trips. Mateos used up three time banks before making the hero-call.
Chauskin raked in the 1,815,000 pot and leapfrogged his opponent in the chip counts.
