Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was picked up on the river on a completed board of 9♣2♦2♣A♥Q♣ in a large three-way pot. Michal Wisniewski led for 4,000 from the big blind and was called by Antonio Asaro in early position.
In the cutoff, Juan Oliva decided to jam for 24,000. Wisniewski went deep into the tank as he had to make a decision for his tournament life as the smaller of the stacks. He eventually opted to call all-in while Asaro quickly got out of the way.
Michal Wisniewski: 10♣7♣ 
Juan Oliva: A♣4♣
It was a cooler situation in which both players rivered a flush and Wisniewski could not get away from his smaller flush as he hit the exit.

Schianchi flipped over A♣K♦ for a Broadway straight which won him the pot, as Geisen showed J♣J♥ for a turned set of jacks.

In the last hand of the previous level, Majid Alsuwaidi opened to 1,100 from middle position before Clement Michaud three-bet to 3,300 from the hijack. David Martin Carmona cold-called from the button and Alsuwaidi came along to make it a three-way affair.
Michaud continued for 2,700 on the monotone Q♥8♥7♥ flop. Carmona was the only caller.
Michaud checked on the J♦ turn and folded after some thinking time when Carmona moved all in for 7,900.

Sergii Markin limped in from under the gun. Domenico Pediglieri, Giuseppe Cimelli and Cesare Florio also limped in. Daniel Garcia completed from the small blind before Keith Loftus made it 4,000 to go from the big blind.
Markin then reraised to 12,000, which folded out the other limpers. Loftus jammed as the bigger stack, and Markin called off the 15,700 more he had behind.
Sergii Markin: A♥A♣
Keith Loftus: 8♣8♠
Markin's trap had been sprung and he doubled up to leave Loftus short after the K♠9♠3♥Q♦4♥ runout.

With 6,500 in the middle on a board of 2♠8♠5♥, Julien Sitbon bet 2,600 into four opponents, one of which was Kian Kiani, who raised to 5,200. After the other players folded, Sitbon shoved for roughly 15,000 and Kiani called.
Julien Sitbon: 10♥8♥
Kian Kiani: 5♣5♠
Sitbon needed running cards if he was to beat Kiani's set. He found some help on the 10♠ turn, improving him to top two pair. However, he couldn't fill up on the river as the K♥ came and he was eliminated from the event.
