Mateos Misclick Makes for an Odd Hand

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Adrian Mateos announced 30,000 from under the gun which was just a call and then Stephen Chidwick raised to 105,000 from the small blind. Daniel Dvoress was the short stack in the big blind and made it 190,000, leaving just over 100,000 behind.

Mateos sighed but opted to fold and Chidwick used all of his 30 seconds before doing the same.

"I meant to min-raise," Mateos said after the hand. "I don't know why I said 30,000. I had a pretty good hand."
