Espinar Now All In

Lisandro Gallo has the button in Seat 4

He raises to 60,000, and Alex Brenes folds. Jose Miguel Espinar reraises to 170,000, and Gallo makes the call.

The flop comes {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Both players check.

Fireworks come on the turn though, as the {J-Hearts} peels off. Espinar leads out with a bet of 200,000, and Gallo looks a bit disappointed. After a moment though, he shrugs and announces, "All In!" Espinar takes just a moment before making the call, and the hands are shown down:

Gallo: {6-?} {8-?}
Espinar: {A-?} {J-?}

When the chips are counted down, it is Espinar who is covered, so he is all in for his tournament life, but leading in the hand. The crowd of spectators are screaming and hollering in Spanish as they await the final card.

River: {J-Diamonds}

Jose Miguel Espinar takes down a monstrous pot, the biggest one of the tournament so far. In doing so, he cripples Gallo all the way down to just 10,000 lonely chips.
