Level 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the A♥K♥9♥2♦ turn, Ryan Oliver bet 12,000 into 17,500 and Predrag Vulovic reluctantly folded to give Oliver a boost to his shorter stack.

Oliver then bet the 7♥4♥2♣K♣ turn for 23,000 and Adolf Buettner called. Oliver had around 25,000 behind and jammed the 7♦ river only for Buettner to call.

The Canadian flipped over A♣A♥9♥5♥ for aces up and a busted heart nut flush draw. However, that was no good as Buettner's A♦Q♥8♣7♣ had rivered trips sevens.

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the tail end of a heads-up encounter to the 10♣6♥4♥J♠J♣ river, Piero Alioto bet two thirds of a medium-sized pot. Leonid Yanovski reluctantly called and mucked when Alioto revealed the K♦Q♥J♥2♠ for a busted flush draw but back door trips.

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ali Balci was in the tank out of the big blind on the Q♦6♣6♥3♣J♦ river. With more than 100,000 in the middle, Adolf Buettner on the button had bet 75,000 and Balci tank-folded, asking his opponent if he had pocket queens.

At the same time, Alfredo Vega Meister vanished on a nearby table and Fabian Rolli added even more chips to his growing tower.
