Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Caio Pimenta
Caio Pimenta

In early position Daniel Cates opened to 10,000 (for the second pot in a row), and he found calls from David Benyamine (button) and Caio Pimenta (big blind) to go three-handed to the flop.

It came out {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and Pimenta checked. Cates continued out with a bet of 20,000, and Benyamine quickly called. Pimenta, however, studied the board for a minute or so before announcing a raise. He made it 65,000 total, and Cates and Benyamine folded in turn, the latter looking a bit frustrated in the process.

Pimenta is the lone Brazilian playing in this Super High Roller, and he's thus far representing his continent rather well. That pot puts him up over the half-million-chip mark with about 530,000.
