Gutierrez Wins a Race to Leave Mateos With Crumbs
Adrian Mateos raised to 50,000 in the hijack, then called when Elias Gutierrez moved all in for 675,000 in the small blind.
Elias Gutierrez: A?K?
Adrian Mateos: 8?8?
Mateos remained ahead on the 5?Q?Q? flop, but Gutierrez hit the A? on the turn. The river was the 4? and Gutierrez doubled up, leaving Mateos on an extreme short stack.
Mateos recouped some of those chips the next hand when he defended his big blind against a raise of 50,000 from Mike Watson under the gun.
The flop was Q?A?5? and Watson continued for 25,000. Mateos called and the Q? fell on the turn. Mateos led out for 25,000 and Watson called.
The river came the K? and Mateos moved all in for 75,000. Watson called with A?7?, but Mateos showed J?10? for a rivered straight to double up.
