Tyler Cornell folded his button and Michael Liang announced all in from the small blind. Adrian Mateos was sitting on a stack of 1,325,000 and called for his tournament life.

Michael Liang: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop of {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} gave Mateos a pair of jacks and the lead. The {4-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing as neither player held a heart in their hand. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Mateos held on for an important double up.
