Smith Folds Out Mateos; Shakerchi Gets Paid
Adrian Mateos opened to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Dan Smith and Alex Kulev from the hijack and big blind.
Mateos continued for 12,000 on the A?7?9? flop and Smith was the only caller. Mateos then check-folded to a bet of 55,000 on the 10? turn.
As the hand played out, Alex Foxen joined the table, sitting between Nick Petrangelo and Kulev.
On the other table in the room, Isaac Haxton and Talal Shakerchi were battling heads-up.
With the K?Q?4?J? board on show and around 120,000 in the pot, Haxton checked from the hijack before Shakerchi fired out 71,000. Haxton thought for a few moments and called.
The A? completed the board and Haxton checked again. Shakerchi sized up to 215,000, and Haxton quickly called.
Shakerchi tabled A?5? for the flopped nut flush to take in the pot. As Shakerchi chipped up, Justin Bonomo took his seat.
