Lopes Culls Cullen on First Hand
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Hugh Cullen opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and Bruno Lopes defended in the big blind.
Lopes check-called a 1,500 continuation following the 2♠4♣3♥ flop.
The 9♣ turn saw Lopes check again before raising to 15,000 after Cullen bet 4,500. Cullen moved all in and Lopes quickly called with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Hugh Cullen: Q♥Q♣ 
Bruno Lopes: 9♥2♥
Lopes had turned two pair to leave Cullen on the ropes. The 5♣ river kept Lopes ahead to confirm Cullen's exit early on Day 2.
