Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was 26,600 in the pot and a flop of A♣Q♥6♦ when Yuri Dzivielevski checked from the small blind and 2021 WSOP Main Event champ Koray Aldemir did the same from the big.

After the dealer burned and turned the 5♣, Dzivielevski bet 13,500 and Aldemir paused for a few beats before calling.

On the 4♣ river, Dzivielevski set out 40,000, and Aldemir, who had 31,400 behind, had to decide what to do.

Eventually, he chose to preserve his stack by releasing his hand.

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Josh Arieh opened to 2,500 from the hijack and Yuri Dzivielevski three-bet to 7,500. Arieh four-bet to 13,500 and Dzivielevski made the call.

The flop came K♦J♣8♠ and Arieh check-called a 6,000 bet from Dzivielevski.

Arieh check-called another bet from Dzivielevski on the 6♥ turn, this time for 10,000.

The river was the 5♠. Arieh checked once more and Dzivielevski moved all in, covering Arieh's remaining stack of roughly 25,000. Arieh took about a minute before deciding to call.

Arieh tabled A♥J♠ for second pair but Dzivielevski tabled K♣9♣ for top pair to take down a sizable pot while sending Arieh to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of 2♠K♠8♣, Alex Keating was in the tank from the hijack debating what to do as Hyunsup Kim, who was in the cutoff, had moved all in for 23,500.

Keating eventually made the call and the hands were turned up.

Hyunsup Kim: 7♣7♦
Alex Keating: 8♦9♦

Keating was ahead with a pair of eights and that improved to two pair on the 5♥ turn. The 5♦ river was no help to Kim and he hit the rail.
