Mateos Gets There on the River

Level 10 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Out of the hijack, Talal Shakerchi opened the action with a raise to 190,000 and David Einhorn called in the cutoff. Adrian Mateos moved all in for 1,670,000 in the small blind and Shakerchi called. Einhorn folded.

Adrian Mateos: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Talal Shakerchi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Both players flopped a pair and a gutshot on {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and the {7-Spades} turn changed nothing whatsoever. Mateos needed a king or jack to avoid elimination, and did so with the {J-Diamonds} on the river.
