Lou Garza limped in from the hijack with J♥J♦10♥8♥. Travis Pearson joined him from the small blind with A♣Q♠8♦3♥, and Peng Shan checked his option with K♥K♦6♠2♣.
The flop came 10♣10♦A♠, giving Garza trips. Action was checked all around. The 9♣ turn induced two more checks, but Garza led out for 500,000. Pearson made the call, with Shan getting out of the way.
The river came 5♦, and Pearson checked once more. Garza put 750,000 in front of him, and Pearson chose to match it. Garza turned over his hand, and Pearson quickly mucked.
