Pablo Valdivieso under the gun and Antonio Vargas in middle position found themselves heads-up once again. They had already built a pot of around 37,000 and were waiting when the flop dropped 4♣3♠4♦.
Valdivieso fattened the pot with a 16,000 bet. Vargas called.
On the Q♥ turn, Valdivieso grew the pot further with 50,000.
Vargas gave him a quick stare-down, set aside the chips, shuffled them a bit, then called.
On the river 6♠, Valdivieso checked the action to Vargas, who bet most of his stack worth 170,000. Valdivieso took his time to consider his options as other tables headed out for the break.
He finally made the call and got on his feet with a groan of frustration when Vargas tabled 4♥4♠. "F**k! I knew it! I had jacks!", he exclaimed as he mucked his hand.
He left the table to have his break as Vargas happily scooped the pot towards his direction.
