Mateos Stuns Fritz in Lengthy Pot

Heads-up on a flop of 7♥5♣3♠, Manuel Fritz bet 23,000 from the big blind and Adrian Mateos raised to 90,000 in the cutoff. Fritz then reraised to 160,000 and Mateos called.

The turn was the 4♣ and Fritz bet 125,000. Mateos called to see the K♣ river, where Fritz bet another 90,000. Mateos then moved all in.

Fritz instantly let out a deep groan as he went deep into the tank considering the decision for his last 380,000. He burned through four time banks and took several minutes before calling. Mateos showed K♥6♥ for a straight and Fritz tossed 4♦3♦ into the muck on his way to the exit.

"He was thinking it was a good card for him, but it was not a good card for him," Mikalai Vaskaboinikau said after Fritz had gone.
