Craig Bergeron raised from the cutoff and Bruno Portaro three-bet all in for 15,000 from the button. Zach Gruneberg cold-called the raise from the small blind and Bergeron came along.

The flop landed {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

and Gruneberg checked to Bergeron, who bet 5,000. The bet was enough to force Gruneberg out of the pot and Bergeron was now heads-up with the all in player.

Bergeron: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

Portaro:

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

Bergeron held top pair, but Portaro had outs with his straight draw. The turn was the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and the river delivered the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, which brought Portaro a straight to triple up! He now sits with 48,000 and Bergeron slips to 90,000.
