Niveau 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Henrique Lessa shoved the small blind and Marian Farcas quickly called all in for about 3,850,000 in the big blind.

Marian Farcas: Q♠Q♦
Henrique Lessa: 5♥5♣

Farcas was in good shape to double with his superior pocket pair, but the 9♠8♥5♠ flop put him well behind.

The A♠ turn gave Farcas flush outs, but the 5♦ river provided no help, eliminating him in 19th place for $90,000.

"Vamo!" exclaimed the Brazilian rail as Lessa took the pot with quads.
