The next level has blinds of 150/300 PLN, which is the same as Level 5 but now there are 25 PLN antes to chip in, too. Level 7 is 200/400 (50 antes) followed by a 15 minute break. Finally, Levels 8 and 9 are played with 300/600 (75 antes) and 400/800 (100 antes), respectively.
Anyway, Level 6 is now well underway. We saw one of the early pacemakers, Scotland's Tony Chessa, involved in some chip action. Once more, several players limped to see a flop of
. An early player with a 5k stack raised to 2k, posing the question of what he limped in with. Tony Chessa decided to test his resolve with a re-raise of 5k, which had the short stack covered should he wish to call. After some delay, short-stack made the decision he knew he always would. Call with 
. Never in doubt!Chessa turned over
for the straight-flush draw.The turn card was
and the river, at the command of the aces man, was black in colour, 
. Chessa lost maybe a fifth of his stack but no lasting damage.
Tony Chessa has taken a couple of more knocks to his stack. He's down to 15,000 right now.
Dave Colclough is grinding on and appears to be more cheerful. Amazing what a few extra chips can do!
Meanwhile, Andreas Hoivold is looking menacing with a very large stack around the 40,000 mark. Hoivold could well be the chip leader at this stage.
With 81 left from the Day 1A starters, things are looking rosy once more for the EPT Dortmund winner. Can this Norwegian do a quick EPT double?
With the likes of countryman Johnny Lodden on the same table, this should be one to keep an eye on.

Tony Chessa lost a huge pot to a gutshot straight. Tony had no option but to push with Ace-King shortly afterwards. However, he ran into King-King and was soon heading towards the exit. Unlucky Tony.
Martin Wendt is still in, nursing a small stack. Not as small as Dave Colclough, though. Colclough is on the felt as play enters the last two hours with 70 remaining.
Andreas Hoivold is easily above 50,000 chips now, and looking relaxed as you might expect from someone who has freshly banked $900,000 from an EPT victory!
Johnny Lodden is probably not happy at being sat to Hoivold's left. Time for a massage!
