Johannes van Bemmel shoved for 5,150,000 from the button and Paulo Roberto Brombim called from the big blind.

Johannes van Bemmel: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Paulo Roberto Brombim: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Brombim was well ahead and looking to go heads up with Neto with a two-to-one chip lead.

However, the flop came {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}, with van Bemmel slamming the table in celebration as he flopped two pair.

The {3-Hearts} turn, however, kept Brombim alive as a deuce would give him a straight.

The river was the {8-Clubs}, giving the Dutchman the win and the three players are virtually even at just under 20 big blinds each.

Johannes van Bemmel: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

In a limped pot, Anthony Miles and Johannes van Bemmel were heads-up looking at a flop of {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Van Bemmel checked to Miles, who bet 500,000 and Bemmel called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and both players decided to check to the {6-Spades} river.

Van Bemmel checked again to Miles, who then put out a bet of 1,200,000, which sent Van Bemmel into the tank.

After a good while, he slammed in his calling chips and Miles revealed {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for ten-high.

"Yes!" exclaimed Van Bemmel as he tabled {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a rivered pair of sixes to win the pot.
