Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Around 35,000 was already in the pot as Mattia Festa, Christian Williams, and Jimmy Williams went to the turn on a board of 8♣A♣J♠2♠. Festa then bet 25,200 from under the gun and Christian called in middle position.

Jimmy then moved all in for 31,500 in the big blind and Festa reshoved for 83,400. Christian let out several deep sighs and tanked for a few minutes. "I'm going to hate myself," he eventually said as he folded.

Jimmy showed A♥K♦ for top pair, but Festa had 8♥8♠ for a set. The river was the K♣ and Festa took the pot to send Jimmy to the rail.

"Dammit," Christian said after the hand.

"You were winning on the river?" Festa asked him.

"I had a jack with two clubs," Christian replied, revealing his would've made a flush if he called.

Action was picked up on the river in a sizable pot between Marc Spitaleri in early position and Edward Crooks in the hijack.

The board read A♠3♠A♣J♠6♣ and Spitaleri checked over to Crooks who bet 45,000. Spitaleri went into the tank and eyed up Crooks, before electing to toss in the 45,000.

Crooks tabled 10♣10♠ for aces and tens, but Spitaleri beat that hand holding A♦4♦ for three aces.

"It's hard to fold three aces," said Spitaleri as he raked in the pot, "I don't even like to fold my laundry."

Saso Makes the Right Call

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was joined with a big pot already brewed and well over 20,000 in the middle.

The board read 3♠6♦4♣J♠, and Mohamad El-Rais had bet out for 32,000. Paul Saso, on the button, was deep in the tank and decided to make the call.

The turn brought the 4♠, and El-Rais took his time before he announced that he was all-in and he had Saso covered. Saso went back into the tank contemplating the call for his tournament life for 5-6 minutes. He finally made the call and tabled K♥K♦, which had El-Rais' 5♣5♠ crushed, and he was pushed the monster pot for a full double up and more.

In a single-raised pot to the 9♥4♣3♣K♣ turn, Frederik Reinert checked and Jamin Stokes made it 2,000 to go. Reinert went into the tank for more than 90 seconds and then check-raised large to 13,000 to force out his opponent.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Seeing a button raise to 1,600 ahead of him, Leandro Bianchini moved all in for 15,900 in the small blind. The big blind, Nicholas Ronyecz, then four-bet to 55,000, which saw the player on the button fold.

Leandro Bianchini: 2♠2♣ All in
Nicholas Ronyecz: A♦J♥

It was a solid start for Bianchini on the 8♦4♥2♥ flop, but the turn 10♥ gave Ronyecz hope with a flush draw.

The river was safe for Bianchini, though, coming the 6♠, giving him an early double.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Peter Priest bet 4,000 on a flop of 5♣4♥6♣ with a pot of around 20,000 from the big blind and got an all-in shove from his heads-up opponent in late position, Vyacheslav Stoyanov, for around 31,400. Priest made the call, taking them to showdown.

Vyacheslav Stoyanov: 6♥6♠ All in
Peter Priest: K♣K♠

Stoyanov cracked Priest's overpair with a set on the flop. Priest needed a miracle to turn things around, but his prayers remained answered with the runout J♣7♠.

Stoyanov scooped the pot for a double up.
