Level 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.

Gabriel Schroeder opened to 1.2 million to leave himself less than a small blind behind and Daniel Neilson called on the button before Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 5 million in the small blind. Schroeder called off and Neilson got out of the way.
Gabriel Schroeder: K?6?
Michael Sklenicka: A?7?
Schroeder couldn't improve as the flop of A?5?5? gave his opponent a big lead with a pair of aces. The 5? turn had him drawing dead before the 6? river confirmed his elimination in sixth place for $400,000.

Daniel Neilson opened for 1.2 million holding the 9?9? and Michael Sklenicka three-bet to 3.3 million with the Q?Q?. Stanislav Zegal then folded tens on the button before Gabriel Schroeder looked down at the A?K? in the big blind.
He opted to move all in for 20.1 million, Neilson asked for a count before folding, and Sklenicka called off to create a 38.9 million pot.
Michael Sklenicka: Q?Q?
Gabriel Schroeder: A?K?
The Q?3?5? flop delivered Sklenicka a set, but the 6? turn kept Schroeder drawing live to a heart flush. Unfortunately for him, and much to the relief of Sklenicka, the J? river was a brick.

Rui Sousa opened to 1.2 million in the hijack with 5?5? and Daniel Neilson three-bet to 3 million in the hijack with K?8?.
Sousa was having none of that and four-bet jammed for 19.7 million to bring a quick fold out of the chip leader.

Matt Glantz opened to 1.2 million in the hijack with A?K? and Stanislav Zegal called in the cutoff with A?J? before Gabriel Schroeder three-bet to 4,900,000 on the button with Q?9?.
Glantz wasn't looking to slowplay the Big Slick and four-bet jammed to bring two quick folds from his opponents.

With 3.3 million in the pot and a flop of J?Q?5?, Gabriel Schroeder checked from the big blind with the 10?9? and Daniel Neilson bet 1.1 million with the J?J? for top set.
Schroeder had both flush and open-ended straight draws, but he opted to play it slow by just calling to see the 3? turn.
Schroeder check-called another bet, this time 4.5 million, and the 5? paired the board on the river.
Schroeder missed and check-folded to an all-in jam from Neilson, who improved to a full house.
