Cordero follows up by making it 13,000 to go on the 6d-8d-9c flop.
One of the challengers steps aside, then Lopez moves all in, with the remaining challenger getting out of the way.
Cordero goes deep in to the tank, to the point Lopez offers to show his hand, and to where Cordero has his cards extended out in front of him but not released yet.
A call is found and up go the cards.
Cordero -Ad – Td for the nut flush draw.
Lopez – 8s – 8c for middle set, and calling for no more diamonds.
3h on the turn completes half of the request from Lopez.
The river 2s fills out his full double-plus to 72,000, while Cordero slips to about the same stack.
Level – 11
Blinds – 500/1000
Antes – 100
Remaining – 26/69
