Espina Cripples Hanowski
We witnessed a big pot develop in the last hand before the break.
It began when Iosif Beskrovnyy opened for 25,000 from the hijack and was met with a three-bet to 58,000 from Sergio Aido Espina in the cutoff. Martin Hanowski then put in a four-bet to 121,000, Beskrovnyy folded, and Espina made the call.
When the flop fell 
, Hanowski checked and opened the door for Espina to bet 75,000. Hanowski thought for a bit before check-raising to 163,000, Espina called, and it was off to the 
turn.
Hanowski opted to keep the pressure on with a bet of 202,000, but he couldn't shake Espina. When the 
peeled off on the river, both players checked and Hanowski tabled 
. Much to his frustration, Espina revealed 
to take down the monster pot.
