Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Audrius Stakelis from the big blind and Pedro Cavalieri on the button with 320,000 already in the middle.

With the board reading K♠8♣3♠8♥, Stakelis led for 90,000 from the big blind and Cavalieri called.

On the 6♦ river, Stakelis slowed down with a check before Cavalieri jammed for 220,000 effective as the covering. Stakelis went deep into the tank for over two minutes before he slid his chips forward to call.

Audrius Stakelis: 10♣6♥ All in
Pedro Cavalieri: Q♠J♠

Stakelis rivered a pair of sixes while Cavalieri was bluffing with a missed flush draw as Stakelis made a great call for his tournament life to get the full double.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Frank Funaro raised to 25,000 in early position and was called by Eric Afriat on his left and Victor Chong in the big blind. The flop came Q♠9♣5♣ and the action checked around to the K♠ on the turn.

Chong checked again and Funaro chose to fire in a bet of 70,000. Afriat called and Chong got out of the way. The river was the 8♥ and both players tapped the table. Funaro tabled 10♣8♣ for a missed club draw but made a pair of eights which was key to overcome the A♠4♠ of Afriat who missed a spade draw.

Level 7 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Audrius Stakelis opened in middle position and got calls from Jorge Pacheco on his left, Felipe Boianovsky on the button and Pedro Cavalieri in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♣5♥2♦, and once checked to, Stakelis continued for 55,000. Only Pacheco made the call.

The 3♦ turn was checked through and the 6♠ landed on the river. Stakelis went into the tank for a about a minute before announcing all-in for roughly 245,000. Pacheco quickly mucked his hand and the dealer shoveled the pot toward Stakelis.

The flop fell Q♥8♠4♠ and Jaka continued with a bet of 70,000. Eum and Schwartz quickly folded but Elias opted for a check-raise to 200,000. Jaka looked back at his cards before sending them to the muck.

Tetsuro Tomita bet 30,000 from the button on a flop of K♠6♠4♥ and Dylan Weisman raised to 70,000 in the big blind. Tomita called and the A♠ fell on the turn.

Weisman then bet another 70,000 and Tomita again called. The river was the 9♠ and Weisman bet 120,000. Tomita came back with a raise to 350,000 this time and Weisman quickly folded.

"Second nuts? Second nuts blocking third nuts?" tablemate Eric Yanovsky asked Weisman after the hand.

Last year, the first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Main Event champion was crowned as Germany's Stanislav Zegal took down the $5,000 buy-in event for $2 million and his first WSOP bracelet. The GGPoker qualifier defeated heads-up opponent Michael Sklenicka of Czechia to wrap up a final day that only lasted four hours.

The inaugural WSOP Paradise Main Event at the five-star Atlantis Resort in The Bahamas drew 3,010 players for a prize pool that climbed above the $15 million guarantee. The field included dozens of online qualifiers, including Zegal, who was able to parlay his online poker prowess into a life-altering seven-figure victory.

“I was so lucky, the cards just fell my way all the time," Zegal told PokerNews. "I think I played well too, but obviously (there’s) tons of luck... This is what you call life-changing money, I guess.”
