Mateos Stays Alive
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Adrian Mateos made it 600,000 from the cutoff, and James Chen called from the button.
With just 25,000 chips behind, Mateos bet the lot on the 6♥J♠10♦ flop, and Chen called.
Adrian Mateos: J♥9♥ 
James Chen: A♥K♣
Mateos caught a jack and managed to hold on as neither the 5♣ turn nor 9♠ river improved Chen.
