Nível 4 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Gregoire Auzoux had just entered the tournament and on one of his first hands raised to 3,500 in the hijack. Daniel Rezaei called on the button as action went on small blind Albert Daher, who three-bet to 15,000.

Auzoux then four-bet to 45,000 and Rezaei got out of the way. "I was going to do it," Daher said as he counted out his remaining stack.

"You can either win the pot or lose the pot," Auzoux told him.

"I'm afraid I'm dominated," Daher replied as he mucked after using a time bank. Auzoux showed him A♦K♦, and Daher flashed A♥Q♦ confirming he was, in fact, dominated.

"When you said you were afraid of being dominated, I was like, please shove," Auzoux joked.

Kyle Cheong arrived to the table to bring the total number of entries to eight. The tournament floor asked the table whether they wanted to stay at one table, or separate into two tables of four. It was decided to keep it eight-handed as Joao Vieira then opened to 2,500 under the gun.
