Nível 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Rui Sousa raised to 1.2 million from the button only to have Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 5.1 million from the big blind. Sousa responded by four-bet jamming for 20.5 million and Sklenicka called.
Rui Sousa: Q♠9♠
Michael Sklenicka: A♣Q♥
Sousa was dominated but the J♥10♠5♣ flop gave him a straight draw. Unfortunately, a king was no good as it would give Sklenicka a bigger straight, so Sousa was looking for either an eight, nine, or running spades.
The 10♣ turn was of no consequence and neither was the 3♦. Sousa missed and had to settle for fifth place and $510,000 in prize money.
