Spanish Showdown Surprises Mateos
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In the final hand of the previous level, Adrian Mateos raised to 100,000 from the hijack and was looked up by Sergi Reixach on the button. Mateos then checked to Reixach on the 9?8?J? flop and called the subsequent 90,000 bet of his fellow countryman.
Both players checked on the 8? turn before Mateos checked again on the 5? river. Reixach, however, fired a bet of 325,000.
This sent Mateos deep into the tank. After several minutes, he threw his cards in the muck, surrendering the pot to Reixach.
