Vamo Brasilia

Rodrigo Portaleoni opened to 52,000 from late position, and the action folded to Kyle Cartwright who moved all in from the big blind for effectively 581,000. Portaleoni snapped it off.

Portaleoni: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Cartwright: {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

"Ás! Ás! Ás!" Portaleoni's rail shouted.

The flop came down {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"Jack!" Cartwright pleaded.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}.

"Ás!" Portaleoni shouted.

The river was indeed an ás - the {a-Diamonds} - and although Portaleoni didn't need it, it improved his hand and he doubled to over a million chips.
