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.

Michael Sklenicka opened to 1.3 million in the cutoff with A♦J♦ and Matt Glantz called on the button with K♣10♣.
Stanislav Zegal took some time in the small blind before three-betting to 5.5 million with Q♠Q♥. Both of his opponents folded.

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.

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.
