Felipe Morelli opened to 3,000 from the hijack and was called by Pim Gieles in the big blind.

The 10♦ completed the board and Gieles led out for 3,500. Morelli then raised to 8,500 and Gieles called after a bit of thought.
Morelli tabled 8♠7♠ for a straight, which got a muck from Gieles to send Morelli the pot.
