Action was picked up with Leo Worthington-Leese all in and at risk versus the covering stack of David Masters.

Action was picked up on the river of 6♥Q♠10♦A♠6♦ where Raymond Wheatley had bet 3,000 into a pot of around 3,500 from the small blind. Nikolaos Mouroutis then raised to 13,500.
Wheatley went deep into the tank, claiming "how can i fold a six here." Eventually to make his decision easier, he called the clock on himself. During this time he got as close as possible to Mouroutis to get a read. However Wheatley folded and tabled the 6♣.
"I just had a bad feeling" he said as both players slid their cards into the muck.
