Mateo Missing; Montalbano Thriving
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On the tail end of a heads-up pot of 10?8?4?3?2?, Christopher Mateo paid off a bet worth 23,000 by Nicola Montalbano to get shown the A?5?.
Soon after that, the seat of Mateo was open despite him still having 90,000 after that hand.
"How much was that?" Anton Del Rosario inquired and Montalbano confirmed the amount.
According to the Italian, Mateo had raised and called a three-bet to 12,000 by himself to see a flop of Ax7x2x with two spades. Montalbano bet 7,000 and Mateo called.
After the K? turn, Montalbano bet 20,000 and Mateo raised to 66,000 with 14,000 behind to then call it off with the 5?3? for a gutshot. Montalbano's ace-king for top two held as a brick river sent Montalbano's stack soaring.
