Sheffield's Richard Trigg opened from the button and then called a three-bet from Elior Sion in the big blind. Sion rarely needs an excuse to splash around in pots so it was unsurprising to see him lead for 4,500 on the flop after he'd three-bet preflop. Trigg liked his holding and called.
The turn slowed Sion down, but not Trigg who bet 7,300. Sion had seen enough and folded, leaving Trigg to march through the 70,000 chip barrier.
Tamer Kamel is a familiar face on the UK and European poker circuit and has some stellar results to show for his efforts. He's bought in a few minutes ago and has wasted little time in getting involved with his new table mates.
Richard Kellett raised to 1,000 from middle position, Kamel three-bet to 2,525 from the cutoff only to see Sergio Aido four-bet to 8,700 from the small blind. Unperturbed by the action before him, Kellett five-bet to 15,000. Kamel asked to see Aido's stack, which contained 35,000 chips, before folded, then Aido himself sent his cards back to the dealer, leaving Kellett to take the pot down.
The players are heading for a spot of fresh air after he completion of Level 6. When they return, they'll play three more 40-minute levels before wrapping things up for the night. There are still 25 players remaining.
Simon Deadman is the man to catch going into Level 7 of the £5,250 WPT UK High Roller, while Craig McCrokell, David Lopez and Tom Hall are bringing up the rear. That said, that shorter stacked trio still have at least 44 big blinds in their stack so they're far from desperate to make a move.
Artan Dedusha only bought in during Level 7 and he's already the tournament's chip leader. While we didn't see the key hand take place, the fact that Elior Sion is now down to 15,100 chips suggests it was he who fell victim to Dedusha's lightning start.
Tom Hall won a small pot from Daniel McAulay to resume his upwards climb. Hall opned to 1,250 from the cutoff and only McAulay, in the big blind, called.
A flop was checked by McAulay, bet to the tune of 1,500 by Hall and that was enough to win the pot.
Stacy Coore, who is playing for a £2,200 WPT Main Event seat on his iPad, opened from the cutoff and Billy Chattaway was the only player wanting to see a flop. The pair watched on as the dealer spread the flop, a flop that Coore bet 1,700 on, and Chattaway called.
The turn saw both players check, but when Coore checked the river, Chattaway made it 2,700 to see the river and Coore relinquished his hand.
