Fourth Final’s the Charm for Paul Phua, Victorious in Event #6: $100,000 NL Hold’em
Adrian Mateos Hits the Rail in 4th ($420,000)
The chips four-handed had become very unevenly split, with Adrian Mateos shortest on 445,000, Paul Phua with 895,000 and Lim and Eibinger on 2.5 million and 4.5 million apiece. A hand occurred that wasn't raised preflop by either of these two: small blind Mateos took his chances moving all in
