Additionally, Selouan encountered a painful situation to leave the tournament. At blinds of 300,000/600,000, he received A♦Q♣ and saw Ting Yi Tsai open to 1,200,000. Then, Ye Wang announced an all-in of 16,000,000, and the Brazilian called with 11,000,000 in his stack.
However, Selouan was ahead when Wang revealed J♦9♦. The board brought 2♥T♣K♦2♣Q♠. Thus, the Brazilian hit the queen on the river, but the Chinese completed a straight and took the huge pot. With that, Wang took the lead and later confirmed the title, taking US$ 587,200.
Finally, Felipe Ketzer and Rodrigo Selouan secured impressive results in two major international festivals. In Cyprus, Ketzer finished third in the Onyx Mystery Bounty.
