Alejandro Exposito raised from the cutoff to 350,000, and John Howe called from the big blind.

The flop came AdKh8d, Howe checked, Exposito bet 250,000, and Howe called.

The turn card was the 2d, and both players checked.

The river card was the Qc, Howe bet 700,000, and Exposito quickly called with AxKx for top two pair. Howe turned over 8s8c to win the pot with a flopped set of eights.

Howe stood up and said, “How do you not go broke there?”

John Howe  –  15,500,000  (103 bb)
Alejandro Exposito  –  11,600,000  (77 bb)
