Esquerdo Picks Off Arpal
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action folded to Christopher Arpal in the small blind who raised to 175,000 holding A♣5♥. Carlos Esquerdo called A♠7♥ and they went heads-up to the 8♣7♣J♦ flop.
Both players checked to the J♥ turn, where Arpal led out for 125,000. Esquerdo called and the 4♣ fell on the turn.
Arpal then bet another 200,000 and Esquerdo tanked for a moment before calling, showing his two pair to win the pot.
Esquerdo and Arpal are the final two players sporting an EAPT badge. The one who lasts the longest in the tournament will win a free seat in the next EAPT festival in Bucharest next month.
