Hand #62 – Erik Friberg has the button in seat 8, Thiago Nishijima completes the small blind for 20,000, and Casper Hansen checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes [Ks10c4h], Nashijima bets 25,000, and Hansen calls. The turn is the [6s], Nashijima bets 40,000, and Hansen calls. The river is the [10s], Nashijima bets 50,000, and Hansen calls. Nashijima shows [Ah9c] for ace high, and Hansen shows [Kd4c] for two pair on the flop. Casper Hansen wins the pot, increasing his stack to about 455,000, while Nashijima drops down to about 768,000.

Hand #63 – Thiago Nishijima has the button in seat 9, and Guy Sitbon raises from early position to 60,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #64 – Casper Hansen has the button in seat 1, he raises to 60,000, Andreas Vidal moves all in from the big blind for 110,000, and Hansen calls with [Kh7d]. Vidal shows [AcQd], and he needs to win to survive.

The flop comes [10d7c4c], and Hansen takes the lead with a pair of sevens. But the [Ad] on the turn gives the advantage back to Vidal with a pair of aces. The [5h] on the river is a blank, and Andreas Vidal wins the pot with a pair of aces to double up to 244,000.
