Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandru Cinca and Frankie Chan saw a flop of 8♥6♦7♥ when Cinca got his last 80,000 in the middle from the small blind against Chan in middle position.

Alexandru Cinca: A♣A♠
Frankie Chan: 10♥5♥

Chan had straight and flush draws against Cinca's aces and completed his flush on the A♥ turn, which also gave Cinca a set. Cinca needed the board to pair on the river, but instead saw the 4♥ fall before making a quick exit.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

"Tips4All," Eugen Florin Stavar, and Artur Stachyra built a pot of around 40,000 heading to the 3♠Q♦7♣ flop, where "Tips4All" bet 7,000 from the button.

Stachyra called from under the gun, while Stavar got out of the way. Both players checked the 3♥ turn.

The river came the 9♣ and Stachyra checked again. "Tips4All" then moved all in, easily covering Stachyra's remaining 40,000, and Stachyra paused for a moment before mucking.
