Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Jimmy Fernandes raised to 1,400 from under the gun and was called by the cutoff. However Frédéric Pistenon in the small blind raised to 3,600. Fernandes called, while the cutoff folded.

Both players checked the 6♦A♦J♦ flop leading to the 10♦ where Pistenon led out for 6,000.

"You have the K♦?" Fernandes asked. "If you have it you have to show it," he added while folding. Pistenon revealed his cards, but J♥J♠ for a set with no diamonds.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/700, 700 ante

The hijack raised to 1,400, receiving calls from the button and Breixo Fernandez, in the big blind.

All three players elected to check to a showdown as the full board now read K♣9♣A♣10♥5♦. Winamax WIP Fernandez was first to table his hand, showing K♠7♦; his weak second pair was enough to send both his opponent's cards into the muck, giving him a much needed chip up.
