Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
When we reached the table the board was complete: 
.
Alex Kostritsyn paused for a moment before betting 6,400, sending opponent Antonio Esfandiari deep in the tank. Esfandiari cut out enough chips to make the call, but hesitated before finally plopping them on the felt. Kostritsyn turned over 
for top two pair and Esfandiari unhappily mucked.
"There's always next year!" Sorel Mizzi joked to Esfandiari. "I know you're my friend and everything, but I love to see you in pain."
The Magician is short with just 20,200 chips while Kostritsyn is up to 71,000.
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We caught the hand as the dealer was counting out the chips. From what we gathered, Josh Arieh was all in for his last 6,000 or so with 
laid out in front of him. Jason Senti had 
in front of him and the board read 
. By our math, Arieh doubled through Senti for a new stack of 12,000. Meanwhile, Senti took a small hit down to 42,000.
