Simao and Merrilees Enter
Level 6
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Within quick succession, Joao Simao and Daniel Merrilees entered the competition with the field pushing towards 170 entries in the sixth level of the day.
Merrilees immediately got involved in a big pot and had invested some 20,000 along with Artem Babakhanyan and Dominykas Karmazinas. The completed board showed 
and Babakhanyan was the one to bet the river, making it 38,200 to go. Karmazinas quickly folded and Merrilees came to the same conclusion.
Simao defended his big blind against a raise by Fraser MacIntyre and bet a flop of 
for 3,700 into a pot of 5,500. MacIntyre raised it up to 15,000 and Simao called. On the 
turn, Simao checked and folded when facing a bet worth 26,000 by MacIntyre.
