Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Lucas Silva Rocha opened 1,300 under the gun and Peter Jorgne three-bet 4,800 on the button. Rocha called.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♣7♣4♦, and Rocha check-called a bet of 5,000.

When the Q♦ hit the turn, Rocha check-called once again, this time Jorgne's bet was 12,600.

The 5♦ completed the board and Rocha checked for the final time before Jorgne put out a bet of 16,000. Rocha tanked for about a minute before deciding to make the call. Jorgne rolled over Q♥Q♠ turning a set of queens and Rocha mucked his hand.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Moments after Gerard Pique was eliminated, Simone Andrian opened to 1,100 from early position, and was called by Edilson Marques in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣7♦J♥ that both players checked. Then on the turn 4♦, Marques took the lead and bet 5,500. Andrian made the call to find the 6♣ on the river.

This time, Marques checked, and Andrian decided to check-back with A♦9♦ for a missed flush draw. But Marques also missed the flush with K♦5♦, so Andrian took the pot.
