Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
Davies vs Yan
Davies vs Yan

David Yan made it 3,000 to go and Seth Davies three-bet to 8,700 in the cutoff, which the New Zealander opted to call. Yan check-called for 4,080 on the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop and the same action repeated on the {10-Diamonds} turn for 14,280.

Yan also checked the {5-Clubs} river and Davies bet 32,307 with 1,200 behind. Yan tank-called with {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and was good, as Davies tabled {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for the missed open-ender.

In the next hand, Yan open-raised and Davies called all-in.

Seth Davies: {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
David Yan: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} board sent Davies to the rail for now.

Stevens Above 300k

Level 6 : 700/1,400, 175 ante

Anatoly Filatov min-raised and then called a three-bet to 10,050 by Bert Stevens right before the blinds had gone up. The duo checked the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop and Filatov check-called the {6-Clubs} turn for 14,475. On the {6-Diamonds} river, Filatov checked once more and Stevens simply piled in his massive stack.

Filatov folded and dropped to half the starting stack, as he had previously lost a chunk already.
