Lopes Shoves the River on Mello
Level 9
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ruben Lopes raised to 10,000 in the hijack, Allan Mello three-bet to 45,000 in the small blind, and Lopes called.
Mello continued for 40,000 on the 10♠8♠4♦ flop, and Lopes called. Both players then checked the 7♦ turn.
The river was the 3♦ and Mello bet 125,000. Lopes used a time bank before announcing all in, having Mello's remaining 120,000 well covered.
Mello let out a laugh and stretched his arms up in the air as he went into the tank. He eventually slid his cards into the muck, and Lopes showed the 9♦. Fabiano Kovalski then used his winner showdown card, and Lopes also revealed the 9♣.
