Racz Dodges Kings

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

It looked as if there was going to be massive pot brewing over on Table 1 but it ended prematurely after a five-bet ended matters.

The action folded around to Kalman Racz in the cutoff and he decided that 750 was a good price to charge the active players to play their hand. Everyone except Tome Moreia folded. Moreia defended his blind by raising to 2,100 but this did not force Racz from his hand. Instead it only seemed to excite him even more as he then made it 5,250 to play.

Moreia then put in yet another raise, this one to 9,100 which caused Racz to rock back in his chair, check his cards and fold.

"Can I see?" asked Moreia but Racz only shook his head but at least he got to see the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} Moreia was holding.

Stani Takes a Quack at the Flop

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Kevin Stani
Kevin Stani

Kevin MacPhee raised preflop to 700 and got cold-called by Kevin Stani in middle position before Frenchman Pierre Fehner came in from the big blind to join in with the two former EPT champions.

Like a pond, there were lots of ducks when the flop came {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Fehner checked, MacPhee checked behind inviting a swift bet from the Norwegian Stani, who bet 1,200 quickly getting the other two to fold.

Italians Fighting Amongst Themselves

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Over on table 13 you would be forgiven for not realising there were other players apart from the big names that have made it their home for the past seven hours but some of them are not afraid to take on these so-called poker titans.

When everyone folded around to the button, Carlo Misuraca raised it up to 800. Luca Pagano, his fellow countryman, defended his small blind and made the call but Liv Boeree folded her hand.

Flop: {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} - Pagano checked, Misuraca continuation bet to 1,025 and Pagano called.

Turn: {q-Clubs} - Pagano checked, Misuraca bet 2,100 and again Pagano called.

River: {5-Hearts} - Both players checked the river and Misuraca revealed {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens, enough to win the pot.

No Senking Feeling Here

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Oleksandr Lysenko has doubled up to about after pushing his last 7,650 all in the middle on a {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop against Copenhagen winner Michael Tureniec, the Swede having put him to the test but only holding {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Lysenko had called with {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and survived thanks to an {8-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river.

Manuel, Now Even Better

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Manuel Bevand
Manuel Bevand

Manuel Bevand has shot up to almost the peak of the chip stacks, we didn't see the hand but Bevand was holding {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on a {8-}{9-}{10-}{2-}{6-} board and stacking all the chips having eliminated Janek Jevin.

Bevand has 108,000 which he kindly counted for us.

Low for Heitmann

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jan Heitmann
Jan Heitmann

We're not sure how it came about, but the cards looked like so when we arrived at the table:

Jan Heitmann: {4-Spades}{6-Spades}
Vladimir Geshkenbein: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Board: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

"Nice hand," said the ever-gentlemanly Team PokerStars Pro as he collected his things, "Nice playing with you guys." He headed over to tell fellow German Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer the bad news, and then disappeared into the Austrian night.

Geshkenbein is at 85,000.

Players are now on a fifteen minute break as they synchronize the two halves of the tournament players after the staggered dinner break.

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

All the players are now back in the tournament area, full of lovely buffet, and are getting back down to business. There's 45 minutes left on the clock for Level 6, and we understand that they'll be playing right through to the end of Level 8 before calling it a night.
