Balan check-called a subsequent bet by Eslami before both players drew one card on the second draw. Another check, bet, and call followed, seeing Balan draw one final card on the last draw, and Eslami remaining pat behind.

The duo then checked it to showdown, where Balan tabled 9x7x4x3x2x for the winning hand.

Both players then drew one card. On the final draw, Freitas remained pat while Fitoussi still took one.

Bruno Fitoussi: 8x7x4x3x All in
Richard Freitas: 8x5x4x3x2x

Fitoussi was drawing dead against Freitas' perfect eight, and he turned over a meaningless 4x as he headed to the exit.
