Mateos Takes One Down Early
Level 1
: 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Steven opened from the cutoff with a raise to 2,500. Adrian Mateos called on the button and Nick Petrangelo called as well from the big blind.
The flop was 
and all three players checked to see the 
on the turn. There, Petrangelo led out with a bet of 9,000. Steven quickly folded while Mateos thought for a bit, then called.
On the 
river both players checked again.
"Ace high," Petrangelo said, waiting to reveal his 
. Mateos had that beat with 
for second pair and he took down the pot.
