There was just over 25,000 in the pot on the turn, with the board showing KdTc7c6h. In heads-up action, Omar Morillo had his last 40,075 chips strung out in front of him, and his all-in bet was putting Cate Hall to the test for the majority of her own big stack.

Hall spent a long while in the tank, eventually trying to engage Morillo in some conversation. “Two pair no good?” she asked.

There was no response from Morillo, but Scott Efron chimed in from the adjacent seat. “You can’t talk about the hands,” he snapped. Hall asked the dealer for a bit of clarification, to which Efron repeated, “You can’t talk about the hands.”

“I was asking the dealer,” Hall said. That was the end of the banter, and Hall eventually called to put Morillo at risk. They’d both flopped two pair, as it turned out.

Morillo: KhTh (kings and tens)
Hall: Ks7s (kings and sevens)

The river was the 5s, and Morillo doubled up into the apparent chip lead with top two pair.

Omar Morillo – 106,000
Cate Hall – 20,200
