Massive Pot Goes to Lapido

Juan Maceiras Lapido opened to 500,000 in the cutoff and Dean Hutchison three-bet to 2,500,000 in the small blind.

"Uh, oh! How much is that?" Lapido asked before calling. "I'm not going anywhere."

Hutchison continued for 1,850,000 on the J♥3♥3♠ flop and Lapido raised to 4,500,000. Hutchison called as the camera crew worked its way over.

Hutchison checked on the J♠ turn and Lapido sized down to 3,500,000. Hutchison again called. Hutchison checked once more on the 4♥ river and Lapido pulled the trigger and announced "all in."

Hutchison went deep into the tank for over five minutes as he considered calling off with his final 8,500,000. He eventually folded and Lapido wiped his forehead as those at the table encouraged him to turn over a bluff.

"I may have been bluffing with the best hand, but I don't think so. I had two pair. Better than jacks and threes."
