Lopes Carrying the Tune
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Bruno Lopes opened to 17,000 from middle position, and Andries Swart three-bet to 42,000 from the small blind. Lopes put in the call, and off they went to the flop.
Swart bet 38,000 on the 
and another 82,000 on the 
turn. Lopes called both bets without much incident. The river 
put trips on board, and the action went check-check. Swart opened up his airball 
first, and Lopes' 
earned him the pot.
With it comes a chip boost to about 885,000, and the man known as "Kool Shen" looks to be up into second place overall behind Ilan Boujenah.
