Esquerdo Comes Back to Kings
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
On the first hand back from break, Carlos Esquerdo raised to 350,000 in the small blind and Ariel Galactico called in the big blind.
The flop came 8?5?Q? and Esquerdo bet 250,000. Galactico then pushed forward a tower of white 100,000 chips and Esquerdo called for an additional 1,000,000.
Carlos Esquerdo: K?K?
Ariel Galactico: Q?6?
Esquerdo was ahead with his pocket kings against Galactico's pair of queens as he went to stand in the corner, while Galactico remained seated at the table sipping a glass of beer to await the 9? turn.
Esquerdo was still ahead as the A? fell on the river, securing him a double up.
