Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Matheus Machado opened the action with a raise to 300 from early position, which Franck Bartolucci opted to three-bet to 1,200 from the small blind. The big blind folded, but Machado called.

The dealer spread an aesthetically pleasing QQQ flop, and when Bartolucci continued for 1,000, Machado folded.

The very next deal, Machado raised to 300, this time from under the gun. Artem Shaganov called from the cutoff, and the small blind came along too.

Machado continued for 300 on the AQ2 flop, which only Shaganov called.

Both players checked on the Q turn, seeing the dealer complete the board with the Q.

Machado bet 400, but immediately folded when Shaganov raised to 1,200.
