Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Martin Jacobson was sitting on a shorter stack at the start of Level 6, but thanks to a quadruple up where he held two pair on a board containing four clubs (none of his opponents held a club), he is right back in the thick of it.
In a recent hand, there was around 24,000 in the pot when we picked up the action on the turn with the board reading 
. Vanessa Selbst checked from the under-the-gun position and snap-folded when Jacobson bet 6,500. Ship another one to the Swede.

.
Finger checked, Stern bet 4,800, and Finger made the call to see the 
turn. Finger checked for a second time, and then thought long and hard before folding after Stern had upped his bet to 11,000.

In the last hand of Level 5, Ivan Luca raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and then called when Ole Schemion three-bet to 2,400 from the button. The 
flop saw Luca check, Schemion bet 2,150, and Luca snap-call. When the appeared on the turn, Luca checked for a second time, and once again snap-called when Schemion bet 4,650.
The 
river put a fourth club on the board and action went check-check. Luca tabled the 
for a flopped set, and Schemion had flopped a set too, albeit a lower one with the 
. Still, Schemion got lucky as one of his deuces matched the four-flushed board.

Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Sam Trickett will have to make a decision on whether he fancies another spin at the Special High Roller after he fell to Adrian Mateos.
Around 17,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as 
. The Spanish starlet confidently led for 10,200 but looked taken aback when Trickett shoved for 28,050. Actually he looked in pain as he tried to figure out what the Brit's intentions were.
He took his time and made the call which prompted the noise of defeat to leave Trickett's lips. He opened 
and lost out to Mateos' 
.

With around 20,000 already in the pot and a board reading 
, Ploand's Jose Carlos Garcia checked from the small blind and Dmitry Urbanovich did the same from the cutoff. When the 
completed the board on the river, Garcia bet 8,500 and Urbanovich his the tank.
Minutes ticked off the clock before Steve O'Dwyer, who'd been sitting quietly with headphones on, opted to call the clock. The tournament director came over and told Urbanovich he had one minute to act on his hand, but it only took him another 15 seconds before giving it up.

Jorryt van Hoof was making great strides with his second bullet but just doubled up Ilkin Garibli to drop back.
The two players were heads up to a flop where Van Hoof led for 3,600 from the small blind. Garibli was on the button and made the call to head to the 
turn where he faced a decision for his final 14,675. He took a minute and made the call all in with 
. It was a good call as his Dutch opponent could only muster 
. Garibli survived the river.
Another player who will need a second bullet is Philipp Gruissem who busted, no details.
