Level 6 : 200/400, 75 ante
Angel Guillen

Things continue to go great for most of our leaders in Level 6. Angel Guillen's stack has jumped all the way to 60,000 after taking down a small pot against the big blind. Guillen raised pre-flop and continued on the {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Both players checked the {10-Spades} turn, but when the river fell {k-Diamonds} the big blind lost his desire to continue. He checked and folded to a bet of 2,400

A few tables over, Mario Lopez is closing in on 100,000 in chips. At the river of a {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} board, his lone opponent made a small bet of 2,500 (with 10,000 more behind) into the 6,000-chip pot. Lopez raised that bet to 6,500, which was enough to end the hand. He now has 98,000.

Holding their relative positions are Francisco Rios (70,000), Humberto Brenes (65,000) and Fredy Torres (55,000). None of those men seem to be running over his table but are playing comfortable poker from stacks that are 100 big blinds deep.

It's a different tale for Francisco Picasso (35,000) and Nicasio Toranzo (25,000). Both men rocketed to the top of the counts a few levels ago but seem to have peaked too early. It will be interesting to see if they make it to the end of the day.
