Esquerdo Comes Back to Kings
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
On the first hand back from break, Carlos Esquerdo raised to 350,000 in the small blind and Ariel Galactico called in the big blind.
The flop came 8♦5♥Q♦ and Esquerdo bet 250,000. Galactico then pushed forward a tower of white 100,000 chips and Esquerdo called for an additional 1,000,000.
Carlos Esquerdo: K♥K♦
Ariel Galactico: Q♥6♥
Esquerdo was ahead with his pocket kings against Galactico's pair of queens as he went to stand in the corner, while Galactico remained seated at the table sipping a glass of beer to await the 9♥ turn.
Esquerdo was still ahead as the A♣ fell on the river, securing him a double up.
