No Day 2 Berth for Moreira
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Andre Moreira opened to 50,000 and then called a three-bet to 115,000 by Anze Smajd, leading them to the 9♣5♦2♦ flop. The Portuguese checked and called once Smajd continued for 60,000 as they headed to the Q♥ turn next. Both players checked and Moreira also checked the 7♥ on the river with 190,000 behind.
Smajd bet 400,000 and Moreira eventually paid it off with A♠9♠ for a pair of nines only to get shown Q♣Q♦ for the top set by the larger stack.
