Mateos Bleeding Chips
Hand 1
Adrian Mateos raised to 40,000 from under the gun before Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 105,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Mateos, who made the call.
Mateos checked the subsequent 5?Q?K? flop and Yurasov bet out 50,000 chips. Mateos called before the [7c turn and 7? river were checked by both players.
Mateos reluctantly showed 8?8? but Yurasov had the higher pocket pair with J?J? and won the pot.
Hand 2
The very next hand, Markkos Ladev raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Mateos defended the big blind. Ladev then continuation-bet for 40,000 on the J?4?5? flop and Mateos check-called. Mateos opted for another check on the 2? turn before calling a larger 160,000 bet from Ladev.
The K? river then completed the board and Mateos checked for a third time. This time, Ladev put his opponent all in, for 500,000 chips. Mateos did not think long before folding, leaving himself with 25 big blinds.
