Bello Closes the Gap

Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Elvyn Bello opened to 60,000 with 7?7? on the button. Michael Nia then three-bet from the big blind with 9?6?, making it 150,000. Bello called and the 10?2?K? flop was flipped up.
Both players checked to the 4? turn, where Nia led out for 200,000. Bello quickly called and the A? river completed the board.
Nia took some time before checking, with Bello checking behind. Nia flipped over his nine-high, with Bello's pocket sevens were enough to take down the pot.
