Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kyungmin Lee raised from the button to 1,700 finding Tauan De Oliveira Naves in the big blind who defended.

The flop came 8♣K♣9♥ which checked through to the 4♦ on the turn.

Naves now chose to lead for 1,500 and Lee called.

The Q♣ fell on the river and Naves emptied the clip with a huge overbet for 11,000. Lee toyed with calling chips in his hand before finally committing them to the pot.

Naves showed 7♦5♦ for seven high while Lee showed 5♥4♥, correctly hero calling with bottom pair.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In a three-way pot, the action was checked to Mark Seif in the hijack who was looking at four cards that read 5♦Q♦2♦10♠.

With two opponents left in the pot, Seif jammed all in for his last 10,300, a bet big enough to fold out both the player in the big blind and the player in middle position.

Saif slowly regained some of the chips he'd lost from the start of the days play.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise in early position to 1,200. Alex Foxen made the call in late position and action made it to Mo Zhou on the button who put in the cold three bet to 4,500. The early position player made the call and Foxen got out of the way. The players were going to a flop heads up.

The 9♥5♥3♦ flop hit the felt and action checked to Zhou. He didn't take long before putting out a C-bet of 3,000. The early position player called again.

The 3♥ turn was quite spicy as it brought in the front door flush and paired the board but action checked through.

The K♥ landed on the river and the board was now four to a flush. Action checked to Zhou who went into the tank but ultimately decided on a bet of 6,500. The early position player immediately checked his cards one last time before releasing them back to the dealer.
