Level 39 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Ricardo Caridade limped the big blind, and called a raise to 3,500,000 from Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind.

On the 10♦6♥4♦ flop, Caridade check-called a bet of 3,500,000 from his opponent.

The 2♥ turn followed the same pattern, this time in respect of a bet of 7,000,000 from Tsvetanov.

The 4♥ river completed the board, and Caridade checked once more. Tsvetanov took a bit of time before jamming with the covering stack, and after some thought, Caridade had to let it go.

Martin Tsvetanov	52,500,000 21,500,000	21,500,000
Ricardo Caridade	15,500,000 21,500,000	21,500,000
