Level 4: 500/1,000/125

Seth Davies came in with a raise to 2,300 from early position and Luciano "CaboDaciolo" De Hollanda called on the button. The flop came and Davies continued for 4,550, which got called.

On the turn, Davies took his time before virtually cutting out 12,960. De Hollanda once again made the call to see the river appear. Davies checked to De Hollanda, who bet 25,590.

The Canadian pro wasn't done with the hand just yet, as he check-raised all in for 113,054. De Hollande waved the white flag in response.

A modest two tables with 14 entries at the start to kick things off in the final flight. That number is certain to rise significantly throughout the night.
