Level 32 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Kaue De Souza
Kaue De Souza

Kaue De Souza was short-stacked after bluffing into Chad Himmelspach in the last hand of the previous level and open-shoved a short stack in the small blind. Renmei Liu called in the big blind.

Kaue De Souza: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Renmei Liu: {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} created chop possibilities, but the board ran out {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds} to give Liu the best hand with deuces and queens.

"Nooooo. No, no, no, no, no," De Souza moaned after the hand.

The Brazilian shook his opponent's hand and headed to the payout counter in fourth place.
