Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Chino Rheem in the big blind and Johan Guilbert in early position.

With a pot already brewing between them, Rheem bet 45,000 on the turn reading 10♥9♥Q♥5♠ and Guilbert thought for a bit and called.

On the river 7♦, Rheem moved all in and Guilbert quickly tossed his hand into the muck.

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

A completed board of A♦2♣4♦K♣7♠ was on the table, along with a pot of 55,000 chips, when Julien Martini made a bet of 45,000 from the button.

The player in the big blind, who had checked prior to the bet, mulled it over for a few moments before making the call.

Martini tabled 10♣9♥ for nothing but ten-high, while his opponent showed K♥3♥ for second pair.

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

Bin Weng and Alexander Queen just clashed in back-to-back pots which resulted in an elimination.

In the first hand, Queen and Weng got the chips in preflop.

Alexander Queen: A♣K♥ All in
Bin Weng: 10♦10♣

The runout of 5♥A♥Q♦4♦K♦ secured the double-up for Queen.

In the very next hand, Queen opened the cutoff to 8,000, the button three-bet to 22,000, Weng four-bet shoved from the small blind for 140,000, and only Queen called.

Bin Weng: A♥K♥ All in
Alexander Queen: J♥J♣

Weng improved to top pair on the 6♥10♠A♠ flop but the J♠ turn gave Queen a set which left Weng drawing to, ironically, a queen.

No such queen arrived on the river as the K♣ completed the board, which eliminated Weng.

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

Nacho Barbero had raised from the cutoff when big blind Vlastimil Pustina three-bet in the big blind. Barbero then jammed in his stack of 83,000 and Pustina snap called.

Nacho Barbero: A♦K♦ All in
Vlastimil Pustina: A♠A♣

THe 2♣10♥Q♠ flop brought Barbero some hope, but his Broadway outs did not come in on the A♥ turn or K♠ river. He said his goodbyes to the table before quickly vacating the tournament area.

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

Danny Tang raised to 8,000 in first position which saw action fold around to Barry Woods in the cutoff who three-bet to 28,000 which Tang called.

The flop rolled out 6♠2♥3♥ which saw Tang check over to Woods who bet 35,000. Tang moved all in for 90,000 and Woods called.

Danny Tang: 9♦9♥ All in
Barry Woods: K♣K♦

The board ran out 10♥J♣ and the nines could not beat the kings in Woods hand and Tang was eliminated from the tournament.

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

Arriving on a turn of 9♦6♠5♦4♣, Aliaksandr Shylko made a bet of 30,000 chips from the big blind into a pot of 40,000 chips. His opponent sat under the gun and made the call, after which the J♠ river completed the board.

Shylko made a bet of 78,000, nearly enough to put his opponent all in. After some tanking time, he elected to fold, however, elevating Shylko back to over starting stack.
