Walter Bravo moved all in from the cutoff for 135,000, Richard Whitebrook called from the button, and David Penna called from the big blind. Any further betting would create a side pot.

The flop came AhKh5s, Penna checked, Whitebrook bet 100,000, and Penna folded.

Bravo showed Ad8c for a pair of aces with an eight kicker, and Whitebrook turned over As7c for a slightly lower kicker.

There was still a decent chance for a chop, but the turn card was the 8s, the river card was the 4c, and Bravo won the pot with two pair, aces and eights, to triple up in chips.

Walter Bravo  –  480,000  (10 bb)
Richard Whitebrook  –  1,875,000  (38 bb)
David Penna  –  710,000  (14 bb)

With five players remaining, the average chip stack is about 835,000 (17 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $3,320 each.
