Norden Takes It On the Flop
Level 6
: 400/800, 0 ante
Netanel Amedi raised to 2,500 off a shorter stack and picked up no fewer than three callers including Jesper Hougaard, Alexander Norden on the button and Ran Azor in the small blind. Maksim Shuts folded and quickly ran out of the tournament area even before the flop fell 
.
Once the action checked to Norden, his bet forced three quick folds and he claimed the pot.
Shuts was back in his seat soon after and raised, Amedi three-bet the pot and shut down all further action.

Smith Takes From Cowen
Level 6
: 400/800, 0 ante

flop and the turn was checked. Smith then check-raised the 
river from 9,000 to 30,000, which sent Cowen deep into the think tank. The clock was called on Cowen and he released his cards into the muck with two seconds to spare.
