Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Marco Meisser raised from early position to 3,000, and all players folded around to Joshua Remitio in the big blind, who made the call.

The players saw the 10♦3♥7♣ roll off as the flop, and Remitio check-called Meisser's 3,500 continuuation bet. The 7♦ dropped as the turn card, and now Remitio decided to lead out for 5,000. Meisser went into the tank before he decided to raise to 15,000, which sent Remitio into the tank for a short while before he called.

The 2♣ peeled off on the river, and Remitio checked. Meisser thought for a while before he moved his remaining 23,000 into the middle, which had Remitio covered.

Remitio went back deeper into the tank before he made the call for his tournament life. Meisser tabled K♥7♥ for turned trips, and Remitio showed 10♣9♣ for top pair as he was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was joined with the flop reading 6♦4♣J♠, and the pot already swelled. Ramon Kropmanns Da Silva checked from the big blind and Renan Maciel Menezes bet out from under the gun for 3,500. Matthew Berardi called from the button, and Da Silva folded.

The turn brought the A♦, and both players checked to see the 4♠ drop on the river. Menezes put out a hefty 17,000 bet, and after thinking for a while, Berardi made the call and mucked his cards as Menezes tabled A♠Q♠ for top pair.

The very next hand it was folded around to Da Silva in the small blind and he raised to 5,300 only for Menezes to three-bet to 31,000 effective, which put Da Silva all in. Da Silva snap called.

Ramon Kropmanns Da Silva: Q♠J♠ All in
Renan Maciel Menezes: 2♣2♠

The flop came J♥2♥J♣, and Da Silva's trips were way behind Menezes' flopped full house. No queen or case jack on the 5♦ turn nor the 8♥ river, and Da Silva was sent packing.

Player	Chips	Progress
Renan Maciel Menezes	234,000 234,000	234,000
Matthew Berardi	56,000 56,000	56,000

Rizziero Osso: 4♦4♠ All in
Kyuhyung Jung: 5♠7♥

Jung's flopped straight was crushing Osso's flopped set, and Osso needed the board to pair to keep him alive. No joy when the J♠ came on the turn and when the 5♣ peeled off on the river, Osso's bone was buried deeply and he was sent to the rail.

On the 5♥2♣8♠ flop, Christopher Brown bet out from the small blind for 1,500. Alisson Piekazewicz called from late position, as did Michael Malm on the button.

The 6♣ rolled off on the turn, and now both Brown and Piekazewicz checked. Malm pushed out a hefty 9,000 bet, which left him just 600 behind. On the 5♦ river, Brown bet the 600 to put Malm all-in, and he called tabling 8♦7♦ for top pair but was outkicked by Brown's A♠8♥ and sent to the rail.
