Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In a preflop raising contest, the chips of Samuel Prieto Roldan and Jan Kesänen went into the middle of the table with the Spaniard all-in and at risk for 37,900.
Samuel Prieto Roldan: A♥K♠
Jan Kesänen: Q♦Q♣
Kesänen was ahead for the showdown but that changed on the K♥6♣4♦ flop. The 4♠ turn and 6♦ river changed nothing more and Prieto Roldan doubled to cut the stack of his opponent nearly in half.

Clement Kerrien opened to 1,200 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel made it 3,000 to go from the button. Vladimir Lipnitskii then put in a four-bet to 8,000 from the big blind and only Thorel called.
Lipnitskii continued for 3,000 on the 7♥9♥K♠ flop, which Thorel called. The 7♦ turn saw Lipnitskii slow down with a check, after which Thorel instantly moved all in for 15,600. Lipnitskii took a bit of time but eventually made the call to put France's all-time money leader at risk.
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♣9♣
Vladimir Lipnitskii: J♠J♦
Lipnitskii had Thorel's pair dominated, and the 5♦ river did nothing to change that. Thorel took his leave while Lipnitskii stacked his newly acquired chips.

With around 17,000 in the middle to the Q♦Q♣4♥ flop, Hannes Jeschka bet 3,000 out of the big blind and Lewis Spencer called on the button. They then checked the J♥ on the turn and Jeschka bet the A♦ on the river for 7,000.
Spencer glanced at the tournament info screen and elected to fold.

Govert Metaal and Florian Ribouchon played in a pot that amounted to 29,000 by the time the river had arrived. With the board reading Q♥2♣2♦K♠A♥, Metaal sat in the small blind and decided to put Ribouchon all in for his final 31,100 chips.
Ribouchon thought it over on the button for a good while, but eventually flicked in a chip or two to signify a call. Metaal showed A♦K♦ for top two pair, which bested the AxQx that Ribouchon quickly flashed before tossing them into the muck.
Ribouchon took his leave while Metaal chipped up to be among the leaders going in to the dinner break.
