Mateos Takes Down Large Pot

Herbie Teope

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was plenty of drama when three WSOP bracelet winners got involved in a hand.

Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000 in early position and was called by Alex Foxen, who was in late position.

Ben Heath peeked down at his cards and moved all in out of the big blind for his remaining 115,000. Mateos and Foxen called.

The dealer fanned out 7?10?10? on the board, and Mateos and Foxen checked. The 9? on the turn provided action and a sidepot, as Mateos led out for 75,000, which Foxen called. The river produced 8? and Mateos bet 100,000, forcing a fold from Foxen.

Mateos tabled 9?9? for a full house. Heath showed A?Ax, and then tossed the cards in the muck before gathering his belongings to head to the rail.
