Two in a Row for Mateos

Ryan Lashmar

Niveau 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Leon Sturm opened to 6,000 from the button and Adrian Mateos defended from the big blind.

The flop came K♦4♠2♦ and Mateos check-called a 4,000 continuation bet from Sturm.

Both players checked the 3♣ turn leading to the 7♦ river. Mateos bet 5,500 and Sturm opted to fold.

The very next hand, Francisco Benitez opened to 5,500 from the button and Mateos three-bet to 23,000 from the small blind. Benitez made the call.

The flop came 6♦5♥4♠. Mateos bet 30,000 and Benitez called.

Mateos fired again on the 7♦ turn, this time for 63,000, which was enough to force a fold from Benitez.
