Docherty to Return with One Big Blind

Adrian Mateos opened from the cutoff with 6♦6♣ and called when David Docherty three-bet to 200,000 from the button with Q♣J♥.

Mateos' pocket pair remained in front on the K♠4♠4♣ flop, and he check-called for 50,000.

The turn brought in the 9♠, giving Docherty a gutshot to go along with his overcards. Mateos checked, and after using a time bank, Docherty fired another 275,000 into the pot. Mateos stuck around and hit the gin 6♠ on the river.

Mateos checked his newfound full house, and Docherty weighed up his options. With 1,150,000 in the pot, Docherty fired a final barrel of 580,000, leaving behind 40,000.

Mateos moved all-in and Docherty folded.

It was then announced that this was the last hand of the night, as Vladimir Troyanovskiy was eliminated on the outer table, bringing play to the hard stop of 16 players. This means Docherty must return for Day 5 with a single big blind.

Can he pull off his own chip-and-a-chair story?
