Elvyn Bello opened to 35,000 holding Q?J? on the button, with Michael Nia looking down at A?8? before defending his big blind.
Nia led out for 25,000 on the A?J?5? flop and Bello made the call. Another lead from Nia of 25,000 on the 8? turn was called by Bello and the dealer revealed the Q? river.
After taking a moment, Nia fired again for 65,000 with his aces and eights. Bello called with his queens and jacks, seeing another pot shipped to Nia extending his chip lead.
