Dias and Caicedo Swap Stacks

Bernardo Dias opened to 55,000 before Marco Caicedo moved all in for a total of 327,000. When it came back to Dias, he thought it over for a few minutes before making the call with the covering stack. With Caicedo at risk, the cards were turned up:

Dias: {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}
Caicedo: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

All right, let's race! The crowd of spectators that had been mulling about the room stopped their conversations and pressed in toward the stage as the dealer burned a card. One at a time, she ran out the flop: {J-Diamonds}..... {K-Hearts}..... {10-Hearts}! The gallery erupted in response to Caicedo's flopped straight, and he paced around the stage pumping his fists above his head.

It wasn't quite over just yet though. The turn brought the {K-Spades} to keep Dias in the game, drawing to four live outs for the winning full house. The river was painted, but it was the {Q-Diamonds}, a miss.

Caicedo has tallied the double up, moving close to 700,000. That knocks Dias down to about 330,000 as the two men essentially trade stacks.
