Written by Kirk | Mar 7, 2025 3:29:52 AM

Mario Esquivel open-shoved for 106,500 and the action folded to Derek Normand on the button who made the call while the rest of the table got out of the way. 

Esquivel tabled 6♥6♠ and would need to hold against the K♠Q♠ of Normand. The runout of 9♦5♣8♦T♣7♥ actually improved Esquivel to a straight and he was awarded the pot for a double. 

Esquivel - 220,000
Normand - 140,000
