Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Facing a raise to 6,000 from Jamil Wakil in the cutoff, Adrian Mateos opted to three-bet from the big blind to 30,000. Wakil made the call, and the two players saw a flop.
Mateos continued for 35,000 on the 5♣10♠4♠ flop, and Wakil called once again.
Both players then slowed down, checking both the A♦ turn and the 8♦ river.
Mateos flipped over 10♦7♦, which was good enough to claim another pot, as Wakil returned his cards face down to the dealer.

On the button, [Removed:607] opened to 6,000 and got calls from both blinds.
The flop came Q♣3♣3♠, and after both blinds checked, [Removed:608] continued for 5,500. Only Juan Pardo in the small blind stayed in to see the 6♦ turn.
Pardo checked again, and [Removed:608] fired 32,000, which Pardo called.
The 2♥ river brought another quick check from Pardo, and [Removed:608] pushed almost all his chips in with a bet of 105,500, leaving just 500 behind.
Pardo took his time but eventually folded, and [Removed:608] dragged in the pot.

: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 73,000 in the pot and the board reading J♣8♦10♠A♠2♦, [Removed:607] checked from the big blind to Alexandros Theologis, who moved all in to put [Removed:608] at risk.
[Removed:608] went deep into the tank, burning through five time bank cards before finally folding, conceding the pot to Theologis.

Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
When the action folded to Mikita Badziakouski in the small blind, he chose to limp in. Adrian Mateos, in the big blind, was happy to see three more cards and checked his option.
The dealer provided a 10♠9♦9♣ flop, which Badziakouski chose to check. When Mateos put out a bet of 4,500, Badziakouski responded with a raise to 11,000. Not to be outdone, Mateos put in a three-bet to 27,000.
This was enough to see Badziakouski cede, and Mateos added the pot to his growing stack.

Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
[Removed:607] opened from the cutoff to 6,000, and Alexandros Theologis made the call from the big blind.
The flop came J♦5♣3♦, and Theologis check-called [Removed:608]’s 4,500 bet.
On the J♠ turn, the action repeated, Theologis checked, [Removed:608] bet 17,500, and Theologis called again.
The 2♣ river saw Theologis check once more, and [Removed:608] shoved nearly all of his stack in, betting 66,000 and leaving just 500 behind. Theologis used a time bank card before calling, only to see [Removed:608] reveal J♥K♣ for trip jacks. That was more than enough, as Theologis’ cards hit the muck and [Removed:608] climbed back to a healthy stack.

: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a previously reported hand, Orpen Kisacikoglu won a huge pot, earning a full double-up.
"Now I have bluffing chips," he announced.
The very next deal, he would put those chips to use.
With roughly 175,000 in the pot, and a full board showing 3♦A♦9♠5♥10♠, Kisacikoglu, playing from the cutoff, was locked in battle with small blind Christopher Nguyen.
Nguyen checked the river, and Kisacikoglu responded by sliding in a stack of chips, enough to cover Nguyen's remaining 151,500.
Nguyen went deep into the tank, using five of his time extensions before electing to make the call.
It was bad news for Nguyen, as Kisacikoglu turned over A♣Q♦ for a pair of aces. Nguyen showed he had made the call with K♠9♣, just a pair of nines, before heading to the exit.

Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a three-way pot of around 20,000 with the flop showing 9♦6♥4♣, Juan Pardo checked from the big blind to Alexandros Theologis in the cutoff, who bet 14,000. Orpen Kisacikoglu called on the button, and Pardo then check-raised to 56,000. Theologis folded, but Kisacikoglu called to continue.
Both players checked the 4♠ turn.
On the 5♠ river, Pardo moved all in, and Kisacikoglu snap-called. The cards were turned over, with Pardo showing 6x6x for a full house, but Kisacikoglu revealed 4♥4♦ for quads to score a huge double-up through Pardo.

[Removed:548] has had little to celebrate since the players returned from the second break.
In his most recent attempt to increase his stack, he opened to 6,500 from the cutoff. This met resistance in the form of a Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 18,000 from the big blind.
[Removed:549] considered his options for a moment, addressing his stack, but ultimately chose to fold.
