Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Badr Douch raised from under the gun and Cameron Couch three-bet to 9,500 from the small blind. Will Kassouf called in the big blind and Douch called.

The flop came 9♠10♠Q♦ and Couch checked. Kassouf fired out a large bet of 21,000, around half of his stack, and Badr Douch moved all in for 45,000. Couch moved all in over the top for 61,500.

"There's no f*cking way I'm folding this," said Kassouf as he pushed the rest of his chips in the middle and players flipped their cards.

Badr Douch: 10♦9♦ All in
Will Kassouf: Q♠Q♥ All in
Cameron Couch: K♠J♠

Douch had two pair, Kassouf a set, but Couch had flopped the world with the nut straight and flush redraw. Kassouf shouted out for a queen or ten, his outs for a full house, but the turn was the J♣ and river the 3♦.

"So sick, wow!", said Kassouf.

Couch held with his straight to win the pot, nearly tripling his stack and eliminating both Douch and Kassouf from the tournament.

With a completed board of 9♦3♥4♠K♠5♣ already on the felt, Fernando Canaparo checked from the hijack and Masato Yokosawa fired 6,700 into the pot of about 6,000.

Canaparo took about a minute and half before deciding to make the call and Yokosawa tabled K♣J♠ for a pair of kings. Canaparo seemed frustrated as he shook his head and pitched his cards into the muck.

There were around 5,000 chips in the pot on a flop of A♣9♦Q♠ when Michael Wang checked, and Tomislav Pavanic shoved for just over 8,000. Antonio Venneri was next to act and took around a minute before he called, then Serge Coles & Wang both folded.

Tomislav Pavanic: A♥10♦ All in
Antonio Venneri: A♦2♦

Venneri picked up some extra chop outs on the J♣ turn but the 3♣ river meant Pavanic held on and doubled up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

David Coleman doubled up with Gary Fisher being the player who had to fork over the chips.

The complete action was missed but Coleman's Q♥Q♠ remained in the lead on a low board with Coleman's entire stack in the middle, which earned him a double-up.

A few moments later, Fisher four-bet shoved his stack of around 18,000 into Coleman, who made the call. Both players had AxKx and the board brought no surprises, which resulted in a chopped pot.

David Coleman	55,000 25,000	25,000

Levente Pal opened 1,600 in early position and Charles-Henri Garnero three-bet 4,100 from a couple of spots to his left. Sylvain Loosli was in the small blind and put in a four-bet to 11,500, forcing Pal to get out of the way before Garnero jammed. Loosli asked for a count and after the dealer let him know it was 44,900, he made the call.

Charles-henri Garnero: K♠K♣ All in
Sylvain Loosli: A♣K♦

Garnero improved to a set of kings on the 10♠8♣5♠K♥2♣ runout, sending him the full double.
