Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Addamo and Levan Karamanishvili had built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of 5♥4♣6♥9♠. Addamo then bet 7,000 from the cutoff.

Karamanishvili came back with a raise to 20,000 under the gun, and Addamo called. The river was the 3♠ and Karamaishvili checked over to Addamo, who moved all in for 39,400. Karamanishvili quickly folded.

Addamo shares a table with Czech high roller Roman Hrabec.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Fernando Rodriguez opened from the hijack and picked up two callers in Simeon Tsonev on the button & Leon Sturm in the big blind.

They went to a flop of K♣5♠4♥, where the action checked to Tsonev, who fired 3,100. Sturm called and Rodiguez folded.

Both then checked to showdown on the Q♦Q♥ runout, and Sturm flipped over 8♦5♥ for a pair of fives. Tsonev had that beat with 6♥6♣ for a pair of sixes, which meant his stack grew to around 165,000.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With around 18,000 in the middle to the J♠7♠7♦ flop, Luis Vazquez checked from under the gun and John Pointer bet 6,200 on the button. Vazquez called and checked again the 6♣ turn to then call a bet of 25,000 by Pointer.

That led them to the Q♦ river on which Vazquez bet 52,000. Pointer tanked while checking his stack behind of around 69,000. When he made the move and jammed, a frustrated Vazquez snap-folded and gasped, "Can't you do that faster?"

No Luck for Nold

Laura Fryer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was followed from the J♥2♠10♣ flop with a pot of around 10,000 when Ari Pelcovitz check-called the big blind after Adrian Lopez bet 3,500 from under the gun. Derek Nold called from early position, Hitesh Patel called the cutoff and Caitlin Comeskey also called on the button.

The Q♥ turn prompted action to check around to Patel who bet 8,500. Comeskey folded, as did Pelcovitz. Lopez called, but Nold moved all in for his remaining 39,300.

Patel took some time before calling, and Lopez got out of the way as the players flipped their hands heads-up on the turn.

Derek Nold: K♥10♥ All in
Hitesh Patel: Q♠8♠

Nold was looking at a heart flush draw and a straight draw, but sitting with a pair of tens. Patel had paired up to a queen on the turn and was ahead.

No luck came for Nold on the Q♦ river, which only improved Patel and Nold was eliminated from the tournament in the first level of the day.

Dora Coyle: A♣K♥ All in
Daniel Zadok: K♣K♦

The board ran out Q♣Q♠8♣2♥8♦ and the kings and queens were good for Zadok to eliminate Coyle from the tournament.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jorryt van Hoof opened to 2,000 from early position and Rafael Moraes three-bet to 6,500 from the next seat. Ruslan Zainullin then shoved 8,600 from the cutoff, Van Hoof folded, and Moraes called.

Ruslan Zainullin: A♣K♥ All in
Rafael Moraes: A♠Q♣

Zainullin held the lead with Big Slick and took a huge leap toward winning the pot on the 2♦K♣2♥ flop. An A♦ on the turn gave Moraes a few chop outs, but the 5♥ on the river kept Zainullin alive.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dustin Graves raised to 2,000 from early position and found one caller in Leandro Masello from the big blind.

Both players checked on the J♠Q♥3♥ flop and A♠ turn, but Masello bet 1,900 after the 5♥ completed the board.

Graves looked him up and Masello tabled A♦5♦ for a runner-runner two pair. Graves sent his hand into the muck and Masello padded his stack.

Kanitar Figures it Out

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ashutosh Kanitkar raised on the button to 2,000 and met resistance in the form of a Junya Yamaguchi three-bet in the small blind. Yamaguchi had made it 7,000, and Kanitkar made the call.

On a 2♣J♥K♦ flop, Yamaguchi continued for 7,000, and again, Kanitkar called.

Both players checked the 6♠ turn before Yamaguchi fired one last bet into the middle on the 2♦ river.

Kanitkar took a moment but ultimately decided to call. Yamaguchi showed A♥5♣, which was no good versus Kanitkar's A♣J♠.
