Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A decent portion of the secondary tournament area is in use and some of the largest stacks in the field can be found there. Among them is also Portugal's Andre Moreira, who got involved in a three-bet pot with Quang Minh Nguyen. On a flop of K♠J♦4♣, Moreira check-raised from 25,000 to 60,000 and Nguyen reluctantly folded with around half of the starting stack left.

Andre Moreira	770,000 770,000	770,000
