James Mendoza opens to 225,000 on the button and is called by Carlos Dorca, defending his big blind.

The flop comes Club KHeart 8Heart 5 and Dorca checks to Mendoza, who continuation-bets 175,000. Dorca calls.

The turn is the Diamond 10 and Dorca checks again. Mendoza goes all in for 1 million exactly and Dorca announces a call.

Dorca: Heart KSpade 9

Mendoza’s shove is called by top pair and he is in need of completing an open-ended straight draw to stay alive. He finds no help on the river Diamond K and is eliminated as a result, bringing Dorca back over 10 million shortly after falling below that mark.

Carlos Dorca – 10,800,000
