Andrew Pecina raised from the button to about 1,200,000, and Tommy Morgado called from the small blind.

The flop came 10h8s8d, Morgado bet 800,000, and Pecina called.

The turn card was the 3c, Morgado checked, Pecina bet 1,500,000, and Morgado called.

The river card was the 5s, Morgado bet 2,700, and Pecina announced a bet of 6,000,000. But Pecina may have misjudged his stack, because once it’s counted out, Pecina only has 5,750,000 — so he was all in.

Morgado tanked for a long time, extending into the break, before he called with 4d4c for two pair, eights and fours.

But Pecina turned over Ks8c to win the pot with trip eights and double up in chips.

Andrew Pecina  –  19,300,000  (48 bb)
Tommy Morgado  –  7,850,000  (20 bb)
