Level 23
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
A hand after taking the massive hit against Mehdi Chaoui, Hugo Machado shoved for 700,000 in the small blind and Ivan Luca called in the big blind.
Hugo Machado: Q♣8♣ 
Ivan Luca: 10♥9♥
Machado hit top two pair on the Q♥8♠6♥ flop, while Luca picked up straight and flush draws. Machado pretended to cover his eyes going to the turn, which came the 4♠ and kept him in the lead. The river, though, was the 5♥ and Luca made his flush to win the pot, sending Machado to the rail in fifth place.
