Mohamed Iche opened to 250,000 in early position and, after using two time banks, Sergio Pinto Teixeira defended his big blind.
On the Q♦6♥4♠ flop, Teixeira led out with a bet of 350,000. Iche called.
The 4♣ rolled off on the turn, and Teixeira continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 550,000. Iche called again.
The A♦ completed the board, and Teixeira was not deterred, despite it greatly favouring his opponent's range. Teixeira slid out a bet of 900,000, and after about two minutes thought, Iche called.
Teixeira let out what was presumably a French swear word before turning over 7♣3♣ for the missed straight draw, while Iche had J♠J♣ for third pair jacks.

Nicolas Noguera opened to 700,000 from the hijack leaving himself 500,000 behind. Sergio Pinto Teixeira called in the cutoff leaving himself 300,000 behind.
On the 8♠10♣2♣ flop, Noguera bet 200,000 and called when Teixeira moved all-in for 375,000.
Sergio Pinto Teixeira: K♠K♥
Nicolas Noguera: K♣Q♣
Teixeira was ahead with pocket kings but Noguera had the flush draw. However the 2♠ turn and 3♥ river were bricks to leave Noguera with crumbs.
