Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in middle position raised to 4,000 and received two callers before the small blind moved all in for around 40,000. Eduardo Cunha called in the big blind, while the rest of the table got out of the way.
All-In Player: A?2? 
Eduardo Cunha: 8?8?
Cunha was ahead with his eights as the flop came J?J?9?, giving his opponent outs to counterfeit Cunha's pair. Cunha remained in the lead on the K? turn, while the river was the Q? and Cunha held up to send his opponent to the rail.
