Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Eli Berg
Eli Berg

Erik Seidel opened the cutoff to 5,500 and Maurice Hawkins called on the button before Eli Berg three-bet to 25,000 from the small blind.

Once the action returned to Seidel, he four-bet to 70,000, and Hawkins folded. Berg shoved for 110,000 and Seidel called.

Seidel: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Berg: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} board and Berg was eliminated.

Green Busts Emmett

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brian Green opened for 7,000 on the button and Randall Emmett made it 21,000 in the small blind. No sooner had Emmett's chips hit the felt than Green reraised all in for about 120,000 total. Emmett called after about 15 seconds.

Emmett: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Green: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Emmett was as crushed as could be, and the {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board had him dead on fourth. He headed to the cashier's cage to reenter.

Aldemir Eliminates Nitsche

Level 7 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Dominik Nitsche's stack was being counted down when we got to his table, with his {k-Spades}{10-Spades} having been beaten by the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Koray Aldemir on {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Nitsche had 136,000 and Aldemir had that barely covered, so he sent his fellow German to the rail.
