Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Genady Mayzel raised to 1,200 in middle positions to be called by Erik Wigg, Atanas Pavlov, small blind Bryan Mccrea and big blind Alejandro Rosales for a multi-way pot going to the flop.

The flop came 2♠7♠6♥ and both blinds checked. Mayzel continued with a 3,200 bet which was enough to make Wigg and Pavlov fold. Mccrea went beyond and made it 8,200 making Rosales fold. With action back to him, Mayzel called.

Mccrea led on the turn 9♥ with an 9,500 bet sending Mayzel to the tank. Mayzel was looking at the board then counted his chips, then counted how much Mccrea had behind which was about 22,000. Finally Mayzel called then piled all his chips in one stack and held it as if ready to jam.

The river 7♥ dropped and Mccrea checked. Mayzel, staring at Mccrea, checked after. Mayzel mucked after Mccrea showed A♦7♦.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bryan Mccrea	62,000
Alejandro Rosales	33,000
Genady Mayzel	29,000
Atanas Pavlov	26,000

Samuel Dray was sitting in late position and raised to 1,300, and Georgios Skarparis made the call from the small blind. Skarparis had been winning quite a few pots previously without contention, but this one was a cautious pot.
