Belmonti's Ladies Hold
Spencer Champlin raised it to 4,500 from under-the-gun and when it folded around to Andy Belmonte on the button, he made the call. The small-blind player folded, but Naoki Matsumoto, in the big blind, decided that the price to play would be 13,500, which both Champlin and Belmonti called.
Matsumoto continued for 17,000 on the 
flop and was called by Champlin. With action on Belmonti, he went into the tank for over a minute before he announced "All in." It was now Matsumoto' s turn to tank for almost a minute before he released his hand, but Champlin made the call and the two players tabled their hands.
Andy Belmonti: 
Spencer Champlin: 
Belmonti saw that his overpair was good on the flop, but he would have to fade both Champlin's nutflush draw and overcard, which he did on the 
turn and 
river, securing almost a full double-up.
