Chauskin Flops Trips on Mateos Again

Calum Grant

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Natan Chauskin opened to 60,000 with K?10? from the hijack, prompting Alexander Seibt to fold A?J? from the button. Adrian Mateos defended the big blind with Q?8?.

For the second time on the feature table, Chauskin flopped trips on Mateos as the dealer fanned a K?J?K? flop. Mateos check-raised to 100,000 over a bet of 30,000 and was called.

The 8? came on the turn and action checked through to the Q? river to give Mateos a better two pair. However, he was still behind Chauskin's monster.

Mateos sized down to 35,000, and Chauskin made it 250,000. A time bank card went into the middle from Mateos, and this time he correctly laid down his hand.
