Lopes Prevails in Battle of the Aces
Level 28
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Diones Lopes raised to 600,000 in the cutoff, Pedro Padilha three-bet to 1,900,000 on the button, and Lopes called.
Padilha continued for 1,100,000 on the K♦J♣5♣ flop and Lopes called. Padilha then bet 1,900,000 on the A♥ turn, and Lopes again called.
Both players checked down the 3♦ river, and Padilha showed A♦8♠. Lopes, though, had A♠10♦ and won the big pot with his ten-kicker.
