Diogo Coelho:

Pais was in as good of shape to double up as he could be, though the flop of created the possibility of a brutal beat. The on the turn didn't change things but the on the river gave Coelho trips and Pais looked disgusted as he was painfully eliminated in fifth place after patiently waiting for a good hand with his short stack.
