In one of the last hands of the previous level Will Givens raised to 11,000 from middle position and Alex Rocha defended his big blind. They went heads up to the {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and Rocha check-called a bet of 15,000 from Givens.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and both players checked. The {4-Spades} completed the board and Rocha bet 10,000.

"I just want to see it" said Givens as he tossed out the calling chips and Rocha showed {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair of fours.

"I had ace three of hearts, you're good" Givens said flashing the {3-Hearts} and Rocha took the pot to move over half a million
