Wasserson's Aces Crumble to Mateos' Queens
Eric Wasserson raised to 80,000 from middle position and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 240,000 out of the hijack. When the action got back to Wasserson, he shoved all in for around 1,700,000, and Mateos made the call.
The two players seemed to know what each other had, and while the dealer was waiting for the go-ahead to run the board, Wasserson pushed all of his stack next to that of Mateos'.
"I know it's coming. I'm running so good," remarked Mateos.
Eric Wasserson: A?A? 
Adrian Mateos: Q?Q?
A flop of 9?K?K? didn't change anything but Mateos' words came true as the Q? landed on the turn, which improved him to a full house.
Wasserson needed an ace or a king on the river to stay alive but the J? wasn't what he was looking for, which meant he was eliminated in 29th place.
