Action folded to Simon Wiciak on the button who moved all in with Q♠9♠. Andre Akkari, with 4,700,000 remaining, tanked in the big blind before deciding to get rid of A♠5♥.
The next hand, Wiciak opened A♥5♠ from the cutoff to 400,000 and Ezequiel Waigel defended J♥9♣. The flop came 4♣A♣Q♣ and Waigel snap-folded to a continuation bet of 400,000.
Wiciak then raised for the third straight hand, making it 400,000 from the hijack with 10♠7♥ as Santiago Plante came along in the big blind with Q♠4♠.
The K♣7♣3♣ flop gave Wiciak a pair and he won the pot with a bet of 300,000.

The 3♥ gave Wiciak a wheel and Ylitalo barreled for 600,000. Wiciak just called.

Andre Akkari opened to 400,000 first-to-act with K♠10♠ and was called by Simon Wiciak with A♥J♦ in the small blind and João Sydenstricker with 8♠8♥ in the big blind.
Action checked to Akkari on the A♦J♠9♣ flop and he bet 475,000. Only Wiciak called.
Both players checked on the 9♠ turn and then Wiciak shoved on the 4♠ river, which was enough to put Akkari all in for his last 1,775,000. Akkari quickly called with his flush and doubled up through Wiciak.

Curtis Knight raised to 400,000 from early position before Andre Akkari three-bet to 1,100,000 in the hijack. Santiago Plante, on the button, then four-bet to 2,375,000, leaving 375,000 behind.
Knight folded K♥Q♣, but Akkari moved all in and Plante called off his last chips.
Santiago Plante: Q♠Q♥
Andre Akkari: A♥J♠
Akkari's raucous Brazilian rail began calling for an ace, but they didn't get their wish on the 3♠9♠9♥ flop. The turn, though, brought the A♠ and Akkari made two pair to leave Plante one card away from elimination.
The river came the 2♠ and Plante spiked a flush to earn the double up and knock Akkari back down to a short stack.
