Level 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Gerald Karlic opened the button to 800,000 with the J9 and Murilo Garcia defended the A2 to see a flop of J97. Garcia opted to check his ace-high and Karlic continued for 575,000. Garcia wasted little time to send his cards into the muck.

The Brazilian then limped the 97 in the next hand, and Karlic raised to 1,400,000 with the Q8. Garcia called, and the duo headed to the K72 flop. He checked and then called Karlic's bet of 800,000 for the J to appear on the turn.

Both players checked through to the 7 on the river, which gave Garcia trips. He bet 3,700,000 into 4,200,000, and Karlic folded.

Murilo Garcia Eliminated in 3rd Place (€525,000)

Level 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Murilo Garcia
Murilo Garcia

Daniel Pidun raised to 800,000 on the button with the A9 and Murilo Garcia three-bet to 3,000,000 out of the small blind holding the A3. Gerald Karlic in the big blind then four-bet small to 6,600,000 with 1010 and Pidun got out of the way.

Garcia then five-bet jammed after little consideration for massive 22,450,000 and Karlic vaulted out of his chair to gander at the stack at the other side of the table before making the call.

The 982 flop gave Garcia running clubs as possible outs and he made an inferior pair on the 3 turn. However, no further help came with the 7 river and the Brazilian went from near chip leader to third place finisher with a payday of €525,000 secured.
