The flop was 5cAd10s, Moreno bet 100,000, and Collopy called.

The turn was the 3c, Moreno bet 375,000, and Collopy thought for about two minutes before he called.

The river was the Jc, Moreno thought for about a minute before he bet roughly 1,500,000 (leaving behind 25,000), and Collopy called after a few seconds.

Moreno showed 4s3s for a pair of threes, but Collopy tabled 5d3d for fives and threes to win the pot.

Jim Collopy  –  8,550,000  (86 bb)

Sergio Aido

Sergio Aido completed the small blind to 100,000, Andrew Moreno raised from the big blind to 375,000, and Aido called.

Both players checked to the river on a board of 9s9c8c5c8d, Aido checked, Moreno bet 250,000, and Aido thought for a while before he called with Qh10d — he was playing the two pair on the board, with his queen as a kicker.

But apparently that was enough, as Moreno mucked, and Aido won the pot.

Sergio Aido  –  3,200,000  (32 bb)
Andrew Moreno  –  2,025,000  (20 bb)
