Mateos Spikes the River For a Massive Double Off Vaskaboinikau
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 200,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos moved all in for 900,000 in the big blind. Vaskaboinikau snap-called.
Adrian Mateos: A♣Q♦ 
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: Q♣Q♠
Vaskaboinikau was ahead with his queens as Mateos was looking for an ace to stay alive. The K♠3♣4♣2♣ board gave him straight and flush draws going to the river, and he hit a flush on the 10♣ to double up as Vaskaboinikau threw his cards across the table in frustration before handing over the massive pot.
