"Nines" No Good For Mateos

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 6,000 from the button, and Adrian Mateos defended from the big blind.

On the flop K39 and the turn 4, Martirosian fired a first barrel of 6,000, and a second barrel of 22,500. Both times, Mateos check-called.

The A came on the Rivera and Martirosian checked. Mateos checked back. "Nines," he said while showing 96 but Martirosian had K7 and scooped the pot.

Martirosian With Nines

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Artur Martirosian opened to 5,500 from the hijack, and only Adrian Mateos called on the button.

On the flop 58K, Martirosian made a continuation-bet to 6,000 and Mateos called. There was no action on the turn 7, as both players checked.

The river was the K and Martirosian bet 8,000. Mateos called, but mucked his cards because he had a worse hand than Martirosian's 99.
