Action Flop, Big Pot

Raul Paez started things with a raise to 55,000 under the gun. Action passed around to the cutoff seat, where Alain Roy made the call. The rest of the table folded, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer spread out what would become an action flop: {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Paez continued out with 68,000 chips, which Roy flat-called.

The fourth card off was the {9-Spades}. Paez kept the heat on with another bet, this time moving 175,000 of his chips. Roy wasn't going anywhere. He moved all in for an additional 355,000. Paez eventually made the call, revealing his {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. He would soon see that he was drawing dead, as Roy tabled the winning {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}, having flopped bottom set versus his opponent's top pair.

In winning that big pot, Alain Roy has doubled up to 1,350,000, while Paez has been knocked back to around 600,000.
