Action was picked up with Mateos opening the button to 1,300,000 and Fraser called in the big blind.
Fraser checked the [9d7s3c] flop and Mateos continued for 1,400,00 – only to see the big stack raise to 4,000,000.
Mateos called and after the [7c] paired the board on the turn, he checked and Mateos bet 2,300,000.
