Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Carlos Esquerdo picked up Q♦Q♣ under the gun and raised to 240,000 as Fernando Santa Maria defended K♠10♥.
Esquerdo flopped top set on Q♥2♣4♥ and checked back to the 2♦ turn, where he got what he wished for as Santa Maria led into him for 200,000.
Esquerdo called and the river came the 5♠. Santa Maria bet another 950,000, Esquerdo then sprung his trap by moving all in for 1,800,000, and Santa Maria snap-folded.
