Adrian Mateos Eliminated in 4th Place ($1,367,206)

Level 23 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Adrian Mateos shoved all in for 2,000,000 on the button and Chris Hunichen snapped him off from the big blind.

Adrian Mateos: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Chris Hunichen: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The defending champion needed to improve in order to keep his chances for his fifth bracelet and an improbable back-to-back alive. The {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop kept Hunichen in the lead and after the {a-Hearts} on the turn, only a queen could help the Spaniard.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Mateos was eliminated in 4th place for $1,367,206.

Brandon Steven raised to 1,100,000 first to act with {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Alex Foxen called with {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} from the small blind and Chris Hunichen tossed in a few extra chips with {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} in the big blind.

Foxen and Hunichen caught a piece of the {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and both of them checked. Steven continued for 1,700,000 with his ace-high, Foxen called his king, and Hunichen overcalled the seven-high flush draw after taking his time.

The dealer burned and turned the {a-Hearts} to put Steven in the lead. Foxen and Hunichen checked, Steven bet 5,400,000, and the others folded.
