Sergio Da Silva Veloso opened to 500,000 under the gun and got one caller in Andrew Chang in hijack to see a flop. The flop fell Q♠Q♦6♠ and both players knuckled.
Veloso bet 1,000,000 on the turn 5♦ which Chang called. On the river 2♦, Veloso fired 2,100,000. Chang went beyond and made it 4,500,000. Veloso asked how much Chang had behind and the latter replied with around 4,500,000.
Veloso continued to mull things over. Finally, he folded his hand face up showing A♥Q♣. Chang tabled K♣10♥ to show his bluff.
