Patrick Richert raised to 1,600 which saw two players call including Jordan Spurlin in the big blind.

The flop rolled out K♦6♣4♦ and action checked over to Richert who bet 3,600, which only Spurlin called.

Both players checked the 3♥ turn to the Q♦ river where Spurlin bet 8,500 and Richert called.

Becker Chipping Up

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three players saw the flop of 3♦A♥6♣ come down. They all checked it to the turn where the 10♥ came off. It was checked again to the river which paired the board with the 10♣.

Last year's Main Event fourth place finisher Jan-Peter Jachtmann bet 4,000 from the small blind. Jeremy Becker raised to 11,800 from the big blind, which got Kazuomi Furusa to fold in the cutoff. Jachtmann also gave it up quickly to send the pot over to Becker, who has chipped up in the first half of Level 6.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeremy Becker	137,000 50,000	50,000
