Daniyal Gheba raised under the gun to 100,000, Giuseppe Iadisernia called from the cutoff, and Luckenson Pericles reraised from the big blind to 400,000. Gheba tanked for a while before he reraised to 1,100,000, and Iadisernia folded.

Pericles thought for a while before he five-bet all in for 2,445,000, and Gheba called with AcQc. Pericles turned over AhAd, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Qd10h6c9s3s, and Gheba paired his queen on the flop, but improved no further. Pericles won the pot with his pocket aces to double up in to the chip lead.

Luckenson Pericles  –  5,065,000  (101 bb)
Daniyal Gheba  –  1,450,000  (29 bb)
