Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With 88,000 in the middle on a flop of K♦K♠3♦, Jorge Palomino bet 18,000 from the small blind and was called by under the gun Conan Hazard and Will Kassouf on the button.

The Q♦ came on the turn and Palomino checked which opened the door to Hazard to bet 37,000. Kassouf made the call and Palomino folded.

Hazard continued the aggression on the J♣ river by moving all in for 128,000. Kassouf went into the tank and used a time bank card, using his usual verbiage to try and glean any information from a calm Hazard. With five seconds left on the clock Kassouf chose to fold and Hazard tabled A♦9♣ for a successful bluff.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All the chips went into the middle preflop, with Iulian Rautu at risk for 119,000 on the button. Lee French in the big blind covered Rautu.

Iulian Rautu: J♦10♦ All in
Lee French: 10♣10♠

French was ahead and after the innocuous-looking flop of Q♦8♥6♠, Rautu picked up a plethora of outs after the K♦ turn to give him an open-ended straight flush draw. Rautu secured the double-up after the 2♦ landed on the river.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stefanita Buzatu bet 7,500 from under the gun and was called by Ignacio Menendez in middle position. John Whetton on the button raised to 22,000 and was called by both opponents.

The flop came 10♥8♦6♠ and Whetton bet 35,000. This prompted a shove from Buzatu for 72,000 and Menendez also jammed for 119,000. Whetton opted to fold and revealed he had Big Slick.

Stefanita Buzatu: Q♠Q♦
Ignacio Menendez: 6♥6♦

Menendez drilled a set of sixes on the flop and there was no comeback for Buzatu as the J♣7♠ completed the runout to send him to the exit.
