Christopher Mateo Eliminated in 2nd Place (PHP10,000,000)


In the final hand of the level, Yuanning Wu raised to 1,100,000 and Christopher Mateo called. The K?10?8? flop saw Mateo check-call for 900,000 and they checked the Q? on the turn.
Fast forward to the 9? river, Mateo checked and Wu bet 3,200,000. Without missing much of a beat, Mateo moved all-in and Wu asked for a count. The shove was for 14,750,000 and Wu vaulted out of his chair.
Some twenty seconds later, Wu announced the call and Mateo turned over his A?10? for a pair of tens and the nut straight as well as nut flush blocker. Wu revealed his J?7? for the king-high straight and claimed victory.
Based on the heads-up deal, Mateo walks away with a payday of PHP10,000,000 while Wu receives PHP11,414,730 for the efforts.
