Alejandro Exposito raised to 2,000,000, and Sebastian Toro Henao called from the big blind.

Both players checked to the river on a board of Kh10d9h2cQh, and Henao bet 800,000. Exposito tanked for a while before he raised to 4,500,000, and Henao quickly called.

Exposito showed 8h4c for an eight-high bluff, and Henao turned over QdJh to win the pot with a flopped king-high straight.

Sebastian Toro Henao  –  59,300,000  (74 bb)
Alejandro Exposito  –  36,300,000  (45 bb)

Henao has been on a roll since his big double-up, and he won most of the smaller pots after this hand to increase his lead even further.

Then Exposito raised to 200,000, and Henao called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of QhJd9s3h, Henao bet 2,500,000, and Exposito called.

The river card paired the board with the Qc, and Henao bet 10,000,000. Exposito thought for a while before he called, and Henao turned over Qs8c for trip queens. Exposito mucked, and Henao won the pot to take his biggest heads-up lead yet.

Sebastian Toro Henao  –  77,500,000  (97 bb)
Alejandro Exposito  –  18,000,000  (23 bb)
