Both players checked the 
on the river and Thomas showed 
for two pair to claim the pot.

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: 
Clement Delacroix: 
Hon Cheong Lee: 
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 
runout, with Lee tripling up and D'Anselmo doubling up.

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 
, Schwippert checked and subsequently folded to a continuation bet of 1,500 by Klatt, while Goossens called. The turn and river was checked through and Klatt tabled 
for a flush. Goossens showed his 
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.

: 300/600, 600 ante
Salvatore Camarda was involved in a three-way pot to the 
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 
turn, Camarda checked and called a second barrel worth 3,800 before checking again on the river. Fernandez bet 2,200 and Camarda called with the question "two pair?" on his lips. Fernandez had better than that, tabling 
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.

: 300/600, 600 ante
Andreas Klatt was among several well-known players to hit the rail, his ace-queen ended up second-best to the ace-king of Mark Demirdjian and thatr vaulted the Canadian back into the top spot. Brian Altman and Vlado Banicevic are slowly but surely also getting there with six-figure stacks while Orpen Kisacikoglu and Kenny Hallaert both busted for a second time.

Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
On a 
board Georgios Vrakas bet 2,000 and opponent Ondrej Drozd called. The river was the 
and Vrakas bet 4,000. Drozd called again, but mucked when Vrakas showed 
for a pair of jacks.
Both players now have healthy stacks of 70-80,000 as the level draws to a close.
