Angarolla checked on the flop as did the button player. The turn saw Angarolla lead out for 21,000. After some consideration the player on the button made the call.

Both players checked through the river and Angarolla showed down for the turned two pair, which beat out his opponent's to scoop the large pot and send Angarolla's stack shooting up above 100,000.
