Niveau 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Eugenio Bastos opened to 2,000 and found two calls from Marcos Thielke and Fabio Peluso.

The three players saw a flop of A♦9♦9♣ and the action checked around.

The turn card came A♣ and Thielke led out for 2,500 and found only the original raiser Bastos with the call.

The river came Q♥ and both players checked and showed their cards: Thielke had 3♣3♦ and Bastos had 10♦10♠.

Thielke suggested a split pot and the dealer at first was chopping up the chips until the table pointed out the winning hand was for Bastos. "It nearly worked," said Thielke with a big smile.
