John Duthie opened to 800 from early position and Gonzalo Gottlieb called on the button. In the small blind, Mateo Urretavizcaya three-bet to 3,200 and only Duthie called.

On the A♠Q♦7♠ flop, Urretavizcaya continued for 2,500 and Duthie put in the call.

Urretavizcaya bet larger on the 4♣ turn for 8,000. Duthie used his full 30 seconds before he called.

The 5♠ peeled off on the river. Urretavizcaya used two time banks before he checked and Duthie quickly checked behind.

Urretavizcaya didn't go for the bluff on the river as Duthie called down two streets with his weak top pair.
