Three New Faces

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Eugene Katchalov is back in action to try and finish one spot higher and lift the High Roller trophy this time. Roman Cieslik and David Urban also recently joined to build the field further. €5,300 King's High Roller champion Vladimir Troyanovskiy has not been spotted yet, but it is hard to imagine that the Russian will pass up on another opportunity.

Lescot is Frustrated

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A big pot was brewing and it left Eric Lescot with the head shaking. After a raise to 925 and a call, Pablo Battista three-bet to 3,300 and both opponents including Lescot in the cutoff called. On the {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Battista and he bet 3,475, only Lescot called.

On the {5-Diamonds} turn, both players checked and Lescot also checked the {8-Hearts} river. Battista bet 9,800 and Lescot snap-called by tossing in a single chip within one second. Battista showed the {K-Spades}{8-Spades} for rivered two pair and Lescot could all but sigh.

Malec Takes from Tomovic

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Joining the action on the {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs} turn, Sebastian Malec led for 5,300 for around two third of the pot and Aleksandar Tomovic called in the hijack. Malec then checked the {Q-Clubs} on the river and Tomovic thought about it before checking behind.

Malec rolled over {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for top pair, and Tomovic first turned over the {K-Hearts} followed by the {K-Clubs} and dropped some chips.

Battista Doubles

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

While Slaven Popov has been eliminated by table neighbor Milan Sasek, fellow Bulgarian Mladen Ivanov is thriving. And another player just jumped out of his chair, very excited, and that was no other than Pablo Battista.

After a raise to 1,000 from under the gun, a player three-bet to 2,500 and Battista called in the small blind. The initial raiser called and the flop fell {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. The action checked to the three-bettor, who continued for 3,000. Only Battista called and check-called another bet worth 6,000 on the {J-Diamonds} turn.

The {J-Spades} river completed the board and Battista checked. His opponent pushed and Battista eventually called with {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, the other player was bluffing with king-queen for a busted straight draw.

Two Levels of Re-Entries Remain

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Alexander Nemtcov, Konstantinos Tsirakidis and Andrey Andreev have been eliminated, and have this level and another two in order to re-enter the competition. Unlimited re-entries are available during the registration period and one of the players to jump back in already was Jean Paul Zaffran.

Zaffran just scooped a small pot by firing two barrels on the board {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The first one was worth 700, while the second on the turn was for 1,500. His sole opponent from under the gun called the first bet, then check-folded to the second bet to award the pot to the Frenchman.

Value for Stavridis

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

[Removed:197] defended his small blind and got into a bigger pot with initial raiser Paris Stavridis from under the gun. [Removed:198] check-called a bet of 2,500 on the {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} turn and did so again for 9,700 once the {9-Diamonds} river completed a possible four-card flush.

Stavridis turned over {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for the flopped straight that improved to the nut flush, and scooped a nice pot.

Ivanov Keeps Building Stack

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Hand 1

Dinesh Alt raised to 1,200 and pocked up two callers in the cutoff and small blind. On the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, the action checked to Alt and the Swiss' bet worth 1,800 won the pot.

Hand 2

One hand later, Alt made it 1,200 to go again and Mladen Ivanov three-bet to 3,100, Milan Sasek called in the small blind and Alt came along also. On the {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, action checked to Ivanov and his bet worth 4,500 was called by Sasek only. On the {4-Hearts} turn, Sasek checked again and eventually folded to a bet worth 9,000 by Ivanov.
