Mateos Runs into Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up when Jean-Noel Thorel reraised all in preflop after Adrian Mateos had opened. The players showed their holdings and Thorel had the best of it but was covered.
Jean Noel Thorel: A?A?
Adrian Mateos: A?K?
The flop of 8?2?6? was as good as it gets for Thorel's aces and only running kings would mean Mateos would win. The turn 8? confirmed the double up for Thorel, who made a full house on the 8? river.
