On a turn board of Spade 10Spade 8Diamond 2Diamond 8 with approximately 60,000 in the pot, Brad Owen bets 34,000 from the small blind. He gets a call from Rolando Soria in middle position.

The river double-pairs the board with the Heart 2 and Owen checks. Soria quickly bets 140,000 and Owen goes into the tank.

He cuts out the amount of the call and examines his remaining stack of just over 400,000 chips. After about a minute of thought, he flicks in a calling chip to see some bad news.

Soria shows Heart 10Heart 8 for a turned full house of tens full of eights. Owen sends his hand to the muck and the chips to his opponent as Soria becomes the latest player to make a charge for the chip lead.

Rolando Soria – 900,000 (112 bb)
Brad Owen – 280,000 (35 bb)
