Brett Lim limped the J♣9♠ and Elan Lepovic checked back the A♦10♥. On the K♦10♦4♠ flop, Lim bet 1,000,000 with his gutshot and Lepovic called.

Both checked the J♥ turn and Lim also checked the Q♦ on the river. Lepovic then bet 2,000,000 and Lim reluctantly called, already placing the chips close to his opponent and expecting the bad news that came moments later.

The action folded to Dennis Carlson in the small blind and he raised big to 4,400,000 with the A♠J♦. Jose Boloqui had a decision to make with the A♦9♠ and got away from it.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Jose Boloqui opened to 2,500,000 on the button with the 7♥6♠ and was called only by Elan Lepovic in the big blind with the J♥8♦. The flop came J♣10♣9♦ and Lepovic check-called for 3,000,000. That was followed by the 5♠ turn on which Boloqui fired another bet of 4,500,000 when checked to, earning another call from Lepovic.

That led to the 8♥ on the river on which Boloqui spiked the bottom end of the straight. Lepovic checked and Boloqui bet 8,400,000 to send Lepovic into the tank with his two pair. While contemplating his next move, Lepovic asked the dealer to spread the pot, and eventually called.

Boloqui showed his straight and then vaulted out of his chair with a loud "vamooo" before stacking up the chips, while Lepovic was left visibly flustered.
