The call came, and the opponent showed AJs, giving a favorable showdown for Lucas Rocha. The board gave no flush chances, but unfortunately for the Brazilian, an A on the turn gave the winning pair to the Austrian. In short, the board showed 875A2.
From then on, the game stalled at 5-handed, but the following eliminations came quickly. The heads-up, in fact, was resolved in six hands, with “72oooo” sealing the deal in a 44 versus ATo. “Calitox” couldn’t get the help he needed on the Q7228 board, and the competition ended.
