Jose Malpelli was first to act and raised to 160,000 with AJ. It folded to Raul Mestre in the big blind, who called holding A4. The duo both checked the 79J flop, after which Mestre led out for 125,000 on the 4 turn.

Malpelli was having none of it and raised to 450,000, but Mestre was not done either as he announced a three-bet to 1,050,000.

Malpelli spent two time banks before folding top pair, surrendering the pot to Mestre.
