Charles Johnson Jr opened under the gun for 13,500. Eliano Mesquita called sitting directly to his left along with the hijack player and Johnny Rodrigues defended his big blind.
The 
flop was checked to Johnson Jr who fired out 19,500 and was called by Mesquita while the other two players folded.
Johnson Jr continued for 30,000 after the 
turn and Mesquita called to see the 
fall on the river.
Johnson Jr lead out one last time for 65,000. Mesquita raised to 245,000 and Johnson Jr tossed up his hand and said, "I have to call."
Eliano Mesquita: 
Charles Johnson Jr: 
Mesquita spiked the river for a higher set after Johnson Jr flopped his, catapulting Mesquita over one-million chips.
