Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Danil Goldshtein raised to 18,000 and picked up calls by Robin Hegele on the button and Michael Wang in the big blind. The small blind was seemingly interested as well, but folded when he noticed the short stack of Hegele.

On the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Goldshtein and his bet won the pot uncontested. Below are further updated counts from level five.

Cirkelis has Aces Cracked

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Maksim Arshinenkov moved all in for his last 123,000 from early position and Evaldas Cirkelis asked for a count from one seat over before calling. Martin Weiemann in the cutoff gave it some consideration before folding and so did all players behind him.

Maksim Arshinenkov: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Evaldas Cirkelis: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The flop of {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} gave Arshinenkov some hope, and he indeed got there after the {3-Diamonds} turn and {A-Spades} river. "Three times all in, and he won all three," Antonello Capoblanco joked while Cirkelis just shrugged.

Richard Dubini vs Daria Feshchenko

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

partypoker Sponsored Pro Richard Dubini raised to 17,000 on the button and Daria Feshchenko defended her big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Feshchenko check-called a bet of 20,000 from her opponent.

The turn {6-Spades} and river {k-Diamonds} were checked by both players.

Feshchenko showed {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair, and Dubini thought he had a winner, tabling {a-}{9-}, but he soon turned it back over.

Feshchenko has moved up over starting stack, while Dubini still toils with half starting stack.

Schulze Joins the Main Event

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Felix Schulze has been eliminated from the High Roller and registered for Day 1a of the Main Event soon after. Schulze was just spotted calling a raise in late position and the small blind called as well. There was no betting action at all oin a board of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the small blind showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

The initial raiser laughed and flashed pocket sevens, while Schulze had both beat with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to cause even more laughter.

Richard Dubini

Richard Dubini was spotted leaving his seat while Jonathan Hayward said "unlucky bud" while raking in the pot. According to Dubini, Hayward defended his big blind and check-raised the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}. Dubini called before calling a bet on the {5-Clubs} and leaving himself with 200,000 behind.

Hayward bet 500,000 on the {Q-Spades} river and Dubini called with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for the nut straight only to see Hayward turn over the {5-Spades}{2-Spades} for a flush.

Bezarenkov's Ace Jack Wins

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Sergey Rybachenko in the cutoff, Aleksei Erin in the small blind and Artem Bezarenkov from the big blind all invested 65,000 each to see a flop of {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Erin checked, as did Bezarenkov, and the bet of 130,000 by Rybachenko was called only by Pisarenko.

After the {9-Hearts} turn and {4-Spades} river, both players checked and Bezarenkov showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Rybachenko double-checked his cards and mucked to drop below the starting stack.

Ince Busts While Tulin Leads

Level 6 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

A loud scream emerged from the tournament area and it took no longer than one second to recognise the voice of Mikhail Korotkikh. On his second bullet, he check-shoved a jack-high flop with pocket kings and Kelly Ince quickly looked him up with pocket aces. A king on the turn was the reason for Korotkikh's celebration, as the Russian bumped his stack to two million.

Right after, table big stack Nikolai Tulin raised to 25,000 on the button and partypoker sponsored pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann called in the small blind. On the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop both players checked before Jachtmann bet the {6-Hearts} turn for 25,000, Tulin called.

The {10-Spades} fell on the river and Jachtmann checked, then faced a bet worth 110,000 by Tulin. Jachtmann called after some consideration and Tulin turned over {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for two pair with the words "it's a value bet, a strong value bet." Jachtmann mucked the {A-Clubs} and dropped to just over half a million in chips.
