Mateos Doubles in a Blind-on-Blind Matter
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Adrian Mateos was in the small blind and got all of his 295,000 chips in the middle against Ben Heath in the big blind. A big preflop all-in with 60 big blinds at stake was happening, with Mateos at risk, and the players' cards were revealed.
Adrian Mateos: A♠10♦
Ben Heath: K♠Q♠
Mateos flopped trips on A♣5♦A♥ and Heath already started cutting out the required chips. The 3♦ settled the hand in Mateos' favor, and a useless 9♠ was dealt as a formality.
Mateos doubled while former big stack Heath regressed to just under average stack.
