Blind on Blind Fireworks Hand Mateos the Chip Lead
It folded to small blind Adrian Mateos (fresh from losing a 400,000 pot to today’s crusher so far, Christoph Vogelsang), who limped in with [QhQd]. Big blind Timothy Adams raised to 120,000 with [kdtd] and Mateos sprung the raise, making it 410,000. Adams made the call to see a flop featuring two diamonds: [3s5d8d]. Mateos led out for 275,000 into the already chunky pot (just under 900,000) and Adams set him in for 1,200,000 or so. Mateos called quickly and faded the flush draw and overcard on the [2s5c] turn and river: the young Spaniard is the new chip leader on this five-handed final table.
