Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Dominik Nitsche is now easily the chip lead after he recently eliminated two opponents. The hand in question took about ten minutes to play out after some mistakes from the dealer, but eventually this is what happened.
Nitsche was in early position and opened it up to 1,000. Folded around to Todor Kondevski and he called from the cutoff. Now the action was on the big blind player and he moved all in for 8,150. Nitsche then tumbled out a raise before Kondevski moved all in. Back on Nitsche and he made the call, having Kondevski well covered. This is when the hand stalled, as the dealer fumbled with the amounts for the two pots. Eventually the floor was called and the dispute was worked out as the players turned their cards over.
Nitsche: 
Kondevski: 
Big Blind: 
The board ran out 
, with Nitsche hitting a set of jacks on the flop to scoop up the massive pot that sees his stack sit at six figures.

Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
We just saw Leo Bowell lose a hand, but he still sits comfortably, nursing a 25,000 chip stack.
The action started with Boxell opening the pot with a bet of 900 and finding a caller from the big blind. The flop fell 
and the player in the big blind checked. Boxell bet out 1,300 and was met with a raise to 3,300 almost instantly. Before the chips even hit the felt, Boxell made the call, and both players saw the 
come on the turn. The player in the big blind then tried to count out some sort of bet, before deciding an all-in would be better. The dealer counted out 8,350 in chips, which was too much for Boxell to call.

Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
We walked past a table, just as Andrew Scarfe committed the remainder of his chips in pre flop. He had a caller, and both players tabled their cards.
Scarfe: 
Opponent:
With both players holding an ace, Scarfe would need some help. It would never come as the board ran out 
, to see him eliminated from the tournament.

Shortly after players returned from their breaks, we were informed that PokerStars Team Pro Bryan Huang had been eliminated from the tournament.
Unfortunately for Huang, his day ended sooner then he would've liked.

Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Team PokerStars Team Pro Angel Guillen is sitting quietly in the corner of the room. We were able to catch a hand that he played just moments before the break. Guillen opened the pot with a bet of 600, before facing a raise to 1,800. He made the call, as both players saw the flop come 
. Guillen check-called a 2,200 bet as the 
fell on the turn. This time Guillen counted out a bet, and threw in 4,600 in chips. His opponent thought for a moment, before throwing away his hand.
With that pot, Guillen moves up to 30,000 in chips.
