Mateos Finds the Chop

Josh Noy

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 8,000 on the button before Adrian Mateos moved all in from the small blind. Vladimir Troyanovskiy was next to act in the big blind, and he quickly shoved his stack.

Lococo got out of the way, leaving Mateos at risk heads up.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: A♠Q♣

Troyanovskiy was in good shape, but the 10♦3♦6♣10♣6♥ runout left both players chopping the pot to keep Mateos alive.
