Julio Belluscio is down to his last 150,000 and puts it in under the gun. Additional preflop action from Eugenio Peralta in the small blind and Ade Olonoh on the button brings 1.7 million into a side pot.

Peralta and Olonoh check through to the river on , and Peralta bets 700,000. Olonoh quickly calls.

Belluscio: (seven-high straight)
Olonoh: (pair of queens)
Peralta: (ace high)

Belluscio sweats his holdings as he turns them over, and much to his delight, he makes a straight to stay alive. Olonoh takes down the side pot, good for 3.1 million.

Ade Olonoh – 9,200,000 (92 bb)
Eugenio Peralta – 2,600,000 (26 bb)
Julio Belluscio – 650,000 (6 bb)
