Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Peter Charalambous raised to 20,000 before the flop, and Marcelo Costa called in position to go heads-up.
The two men checked all the way to the river on a 
board. On the end, Charalmbous bet 40,000 -- exactly half of Costa's remaining chips. The call eventually came, and the news was not good for Costa.
Showdown
Charalambous: 
Costa: 
Charalmbous made the nut low to take that half of the pot, and Costa can only earn one-quarter as he and his opponent both shared the same 
top hand. With his quartering, Costa has fallen back to 73,000 chips.
