Arends Check-Raises to Win Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised 650,000 with A?8? under the gun and met resistance from Jans Arends, who defended his big blind with 6?4?.
Arends was rewarded for his bullish defense when the dealer fanned 4?10?6? on the flop, giving Arends bottom two pair. Arends checked and Mateos checked behind.
The K? on the turn brought some action after Arends checked. Mateos bet 1,100,000 and then faced a 3,200,000 check-raise from Arends. Mateos immediately mucked his hand.
