Ian Matakis raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Mauricio Ferreira Pais was the lone caller in the big blind. The flop was {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Pais check-called a 40,000 bet from Matakis. Both players checked down the turn {4-Hearts} and the river {6-Spades} to get to a showdown. Pais turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, but Matakis tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to take the small pot with the board's pair of fours and an ace.

On the next hand, Allan Ribeiro raised 60,000 from the button and Matakis called from the big blind. Matakis check-called a 50,000 bet from Pais on a flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the turn came {4-Hearts}. Both players checked the turn to see {3-Hearts} on the river, and Matakis checked again. Ribeiro fired a bet of 125,000 and Matakis called quickly while he turned over {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a flush. Ribeiro showed the losing {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} before it went into the muck.
