: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Antonio Galiana limped from the small blind, but Christian Roberts in the big blind raised to 380,000. Galiana called.
Galiana checked on a flop of Q♣3♥4♦, and Roberts kept up the aggression with a bet of 210,000, Galiana called. The 7♠ turn card didn't slow the action down as Roberts fired another bet of 500,000 when checked to, Galiana called again.
Roberts bet the size of the pot when the 2♥ hit the river, Galiana went deep into the tank but eventually found the call and was shown A♥Q♦ for top pair. Galiana mucked and Roberts scooped a huge pot on the final table to take the lead.
