Poker Gods Punish Mateos
Livello 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Adrian Mateos opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Lingkun Lu from the small blind.
Mateos' namesake and compatriot Adrian Garcia three-bet to 325,000. Mateos reraised to 740,000, pushing out Lu. Garcia jammed for 2,925,000, and Mateos snap-called as the covering stack.
Adrian Garcia: A♠K♠
Adrian Mateos: A♥A♣
Garcia was crushed, with Mateos the huge favorite for the 5,940,000 pot.
The 10♠9♥8♦ flop left Garcia with backdoor opportunities, with the 9♠ turn giving Garcia a flush draw. The 3♠ river gave Garcia the flush to crack Mateos' aces, with the latter sickened as most of his stack went over to his opponent.
