Michael Acevedo opened to 2,000,000 from the button before Jackson Santos, who covered Acevedo slightly, moved all in from the big blind. Acevedo snap-called with his stack of 14,200,000 to put himself at risk.

Jackson Santos: 2♠2♣

Acevedo was in great shape with the bigger pocket pair and remained ahead on the 10♦5♠4♠K♥7♥ runout to secure a full double up through Santos, who was left with just over three big blinds.

Nível 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Josef Snejberg raised to 2,000,000 from the button and found one caller in Martin Raus from the big blind before seeing the flop come 2♦A♣10♦.

Raus checked over to Snejberg who continued with a bet of 1,300,000. Raus thought for a short time before making the call and watching as the J♦ hit the turn.

Raus checked it to Snejberg again and again, Snejberg reached into his stack and came back with a bet in the amount of 3,200,000. Raus decided on making the check-call again to see the 2♣ fall on the river.

Raus checked a third time and once more, Snejberg went into his stack and came out with a huge stack of chips good for a bet of 11,000,000. Raus asked the amount before quickly flicking in a call to see that Snejberg was on the three-barrel bluff when he turned over the K♠4♠.

Raus quickly tabled the A♠10♣ and collected a pot that made him the newly minted chip leader with almost double his next closest competitor.

Nível 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Josef Snejberg moved all in from the button, covering both of the blinds by a wide margin. Martin Raus called off for his last 14,300,000 from the big blind to put himself at risk.

Martin Raus: A♦10♦
Josef Snejberg: 6♣5♣

Raus was in good shape to double up and remained ahead on the 2♥9♦2♠ flop. The 10♣ turn left Snejberg drawing dead and after the 2♦ river Raus secured a full double up at Snejberg's expense.

Nível 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action folded to Seyoon Lim in the small blind who jammed a short stack. Michael Acevedo was in the big blind and after checking his cards, quickly made the call to put Lim at risk and headed to a runout.

Seyoon Lim: Q♣3♥
Michael Acevedo: A♠J♠

The 9♣3♦6♣ flop was a good one for Lim as he jumped into the lead with two cards to come, but the board pairing 9♠ turn card provided Acevedo with extra outs for the win.

The 6♠ river provided one of those newly acquired outs and gave him the best hand, sending Lim to the payout window in fifth place for $79,700.

Nível 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action folded to Jackson Santos who raised to 1,600,000 from the cutoff only to see Josef Snejberg come in for a three-bet to 4,600,000. Santos thought briefly before reaching for chips and putting in the call to see the flop come 10♠10♣4♦.

Santos checked it to Snejberg who continued with a bet of 2,200,000. Santos opted to make the call and watch as the J♥ fell on the turn.

Action checked through to the 5♣ river card.

Santos checked it over once more to Snejberg who took a moment before reaching for chips and counting out a bet worth 8,500,000. Santos was not quick to release his hand but he did eventually decide to toss his cards toward the muck and concede what had become quite a big pot to Snejberg without showdown.

Nível 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Jackson Santos opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff before Josef Snejberg three-bet to 2,800,000 from the button. Ami Barer called off in the small blind for his last 475,000 before Santos made the call as well.

The flop came 10♣5♥2♦ and Santos check-called a 1,600,000 continuation bet from Snejberg.

Santos check-called another bet on the 7♠ turn, this time for 4,700,000.

Both players checked the 9♠ river. Snejberg could only show Q♠J♦ for a total bluff while Barer tabled J♣6♥ for jack-high. Santos showed down 8♠8♦ for just a pair of eights which was good enough to take down a gargantuan pot, close the gap between himself and Snejberg and send Barer to the rail in 6th place.
