: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Paulo Castelo raised to 550,000 on the button and Abel Gongora defended from the big blind. The flop fell 
and Gongora checked to Castelo who continued for 550,000. Gongora check-raised to 1,300,000 and Castelo shipped all in for 8,800,000. Gongora snap-called and the writing was on the wall.
Paulo Castelo: 
Abel Gongora: 
Gongora flopped the nuts with a straight flush redraw and Castelo was left grasping at straws. The 
and 
runout was no help and Castelo was eliminated in third place.
