Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was a raise to 1,200 in middle position and German Morte defended from the big blind. The flop came J♣6♥3♦ and Morte checked to his opponent who bet 1,400. Morte check-raised to 3,500 and his opponent called.

The turn was the 2♥ and Morte flicked in a bet of 5,000 which his opponent called. The J♠ paired the board on the river and Morte overbet shoved all in. His opponent didn't waste much time before calling off his stack of 20,300. Morte turned over A♣4♣ for just ace-high while his opponent held Q♣J♥ for trip jacks.

Leonardo Boen just took his seat following the break and quickly got involved in the action with a raise to 1,200 in middle position. He was called by Donizette Teixeira in the cutoff and Edgar Kenji in the small blind.

The flop came 10♠5♣3♥ and Kenji started with a check. Boen continued with a bet of 1,100 which Teixeira called. Kenji check-raised to 5,500 and Boen was forced to let his hand go, as did Teixeira.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 2,000 from under the gun and a call from early position. Anthony Temperine was next to act and three-be to 7,000. Alexandre Arantes was on the button and four-bet shoved all in for nearly 40,000.

The original raiser thought for a minute before folding and the action was back on Temperine. He went into the tank for over a minute, using one of his time banks before finally showing A♥Q♥ as he threw his cards into the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andres Coppini limped in from early position which invited three other players to come along as well. William Pinheiro was in the big blind and made it 5,800 to go. Coppini called and the rest of the table folded.

The flop came 8♥3♠2♣ and Pinheiro continued with a bet of 5,600. Coppini ripped all in for 15,500 and Pinheiro mulled it over before making the call. Coppini showed 3♥3♣ for a set of threes while Pinheiro was drawing slim with A♠5♠ for a straight draw.

The 7♣ on the turn was a brick and the J♣ on the river also changed nothing. Coppini held on for a full double up and Pinheiro slipped below starting stack.

Andres Coppini	45,000
