: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Simon Brandstrom opened to 250,000 in the hijack and Rui Sousa called in the cutoff. On the 
flop, Brandstrom bet 250,000 and Sousa called. The 
followed on the turn and Brandstrom check-folded to a bet of 550,000.
Pasquale Braco then scooped the blinds and big blind ante with a raise to 255,000 from the button and raised to 250,000 in the next hand. Balakrishna Patur called in the big blind and check-folded the 
flop to a continuation bet of 200,000.
Sousa opened to 260,000 from under the gun and Diego Falcone called in the cutoff, as did Brandstrom in the big blind. The flop brought
