Adrian Mateos opened from the cutoff to 4,000 with Vladimir Korzinin calling on the button and Atanas Malinov defending from the big blind.
Mateos bet 5,000 on the K♥8♠10♠ flop, which only Korzinin called.
The 6♥ came on the turn and Mateos check-called a bet of 13,000 from Korzinin.
Both players checked the 4♥ river and Mateos turned over Q♠3♠ for a busted flush draw with just queen-high. Much to the amusement of the table, he took down the pot as Korzinin showed J♣9♥ for a missed straight draw and jack-high.

After reentering in the break, Juan Pardo raised to 3,500 from the hijack with Adrian Mateos calling from the cutoff. Dimitar Danchev three-bet to 12,500 from the button which got a fold from Pardo. Mateos thought for a few moments before jamming for Danchev's remaining 85,000. Danchev called.
Dimitar Danchev : J♦J♥ 
Adrian Mateos: 10♦10♠
Mateos couldn't find a ten on the 6♦K♥7♦K♠2♣ runout. Danchev's jacks had held up and earned him the double-up.
Mateos was left with just 2 big blinds and eliminated on the next hand.
