Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marius Gierse opened to 6,000 from under the gun and found a call from Vlad Martynenko in the hijack. Pedro Chaves came along in the big blind, with three players seeing the 8♥9♣8♣ flop.

Chaves and Gierse checked to Martynenko, who fired 6,500. Chaves was the only caller to see the J♥ turn.

Both players then checked to the 2♥ river, where Chaves led out for 11,500. Martynenko did not take long to raise enough to put his opponent all in, with Chaves snap-calling.

Martynenko turned over 2♠2♦ for a full house, but it was second best as Chaves showed 9♦8♠ for a superior full house on the flop to double his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vlad Martynenko	438,000 1,500	1,500

Pedro Chaves	192,000 106,500	106,500
