Camarda Left Short; Lodge Gone

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Salvatore Camarda was involved in a three-way pot to the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and checked out of the small blind, as did PokerStars qualifier Carl-Fredrik Tingvall in the big blind. Luis Fernandez bet 2,400 from under the gun and Camarda was the only caller.

On the {6-Hearts} turn, Camarda checked and called a second barrel worth 3,800 before checking again on the {8-Clubs} river. Fernandez bet 2,200 and Camarda called with the question "two pair?" on his lips. Fernandez had better than that, tabling {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a set, and Camarda was left with dust.

Harry Lodge was left with even less, and the cards had already been rushed away with his chips being pushed over to Georgios Vrakas.

Small Pot for Klatt

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Andreas Klatt finished runner up to Raffaele Sorrentino here at Monaco just one year ago and sits not far away from his career highlight right in front of the feature table.

Klatt made it 1,200 to go from under the gun and was called by Guy Goossens as well as Jan-Eric Schwippert in the big blind. On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Schwippert checked and subsequently folded to a continuation bet of 1,500 by Klatt, while Goossens called. The {K-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river was checked through and Klatt tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a flush. Goossens showed his {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair and remains on two times the starting stack after entering the event at the very end of level six.

Other notable stacks from the table including Stephen Chidwick on his second bullet can be found below.

Three-Way All In

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Nicola D'Anselmo raised to 1,800 and Clement Delacroix three-bet to 6,000. Hon Cheong Lee was in the big blind and was short-stacked and he moved all in for 6,300. D'Anselmo moved all in himself for 17,700 and Delacroix called putting two players at risk.

Nicola D'Anselmo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Clement Delacroix: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Hon Cheong Lee: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Lee was ahead, and Delacroix would have to come from way back to eliminate two players. As it so happened, the hands all held up on a {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} runout, with Lee tripling up and D'Anselmo doubling up.

Assorted Post Dinner Counts

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ole Schemion entered after busting the €100,000 Super High Roller previously and Randy Lew did so after falling short in the €1,100 National Championship, which now has five players remaining.

Reeves Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Hiroyuki Noda raised to 1,700 on the button and Lucas Reeves in the small blind three-bet to 6,400, which Noda called. On the {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Reeves continued for 4,500 and Noda called. Reeves then made it 15,200 to go on the {4-Clubs} turn and Noda looked over at the stack of his opponent and sent his cards into the muck.

Thomas Takes From Gonzales

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A raise to 1,300 by Julian Thomas was called by big stack Jose Gonzales in the big blind and the Argentinian check-called a continuation bet for 1,500 on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop. On the {J-Hearts} turn, Gonzales checked once more and Thomas fired a second barrel worth 3,500, Gonzales called.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds} on the river and Thomas showed {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for two pair to claim the pot.

Assorted Post Dinner Counts and Bustouts

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Hady El Asmar was up to almost three times the starting stack not long ago, but has since been eliminated when flopping top two pair with {5-}{4-}. Julian Stuer had looked him up with {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the flush draw and immediately got there with the {7-Clubs} turn, the river was a blank.

Stuer also put plenty of pressure on Josip Simunic minutes before everyone headed into the dinner break. Preflop Stuer and Simunic had invested 4,000 each. The {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and {2-Spades} turn were checked, then Stuer led for 40,000 out of the small blind on the {2-Diamonds} river and Simunic folded.

Below are further casualties and big stacks at the end of level six.
