Back and Forth in Five-Handed Play
"Alexgirs" won a pot against Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress to add a few big blinds to his stack and Dvoress then earned the next pot once the blinds had gone up. The Canadian kept those chips for one hand only as he raised the button to 1.47 million and Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts called in the big blind.
A check-call for 1.19 million followed on the 
flop and they checked the 
turn. Aerts bet the 
river for more than 1.8 million and earned a fold.
Alex "dynoalot" Difelice then three-bet jammed twice in quick succession, fording a fold from Pablo "pabritz" Brito in the first hand followed by Aerts in the second hand.
Brito got his chips back with some profit on top when Aerts opened first to act for 1.54 million and was called by "Alexgirs" on the button and the Brazilian in the big blind. The 
flop brought no betting action while Brito's bet for nearly 1.9 million was called only by "Alexgirs". Brito bet the 
river once more for 2.45 million and forced a reluctant fold.
One hand later, Brito took on "Alexgirs" in a battle small blind versus cutoff and this time the Brazilian check-folded the 
river when facing a bet of 3.1 million into 6,237,500.
