Lopes Carrying the Tune

Bruno Lopes
Bruno Lopes

Bruno Lopes opened to 17,000 from middle position, and Andries Swart three-bet to 42,000 from the small blind. Lopes put in the call, and off they went to the flop.

Swart bet 38,000 on the {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} and another 82,000 on the {2-Spades} turn. Lopes called both bets without much incident. The river {2-Clubs} put trips on board, and the action went check-check. Swart opened up his airball {A-Spades} {4-Spades} first, and Lopes' {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} earned him the pot.

With it comes a chip boost to about 885,000, and the man known as "Kool Shen" looks to be up into second place overall behind Ilan Boujenah.
