Brewer Correctly Calls Mateos in Huge Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Chris Brewer in middle position was involved in a hand with Adrian Mateos on the button.
With the board reading K?10?5?J? Brewer checked to Mateos, who bet out 55,000. After some time, Brewer called.
Brewer checked again following the 2? river. Mateos, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, pushed 155,000 across the betting line, representing roughly a pot sized bet. That sent Brewer into the tank as he considered a decision for a significant number of chips early in the day. Eventually, he decided his hand was too strong to lay down and tossed in a calling chip holding K?10? for two pair. Mateos could only muster Q?J? for a pair of jacks with blockers to broadway to send the massive pot over to Brewer.
