Mateos led out with a bet of 90,000 and Staahle raised to 200,000. Mateos called and the 
landed on the turn. Mateos checked to Staahle who bet 200,000 again only to have Mateos check-raised to 520,000. Staahle burned through two of his time banks before finally releasing his cards.
"I'll let you have this one," Staahle said. "But I don't think you have the king."
