Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a completed board of A♣Q♦8♦K♠3♦, Marco Damico checked from under the gun, and Fernando Rodriguez followed suit in the hijack. Simeon Tsonev then fired 15,000 into the pot of 55,000 on the button.

Damico needed about a minute before he found a fold. "Oh, man," Rodriguez exclaimed, seemingly also facing a difficult decision. He quickly decided on a call, but he mucked his cards when Tsonev tabled 7♦5♦ for a flush.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With around 5,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 5♠6♣10♥, Erik Eisen checked from the small blind and Mauricio Solano fired out 1,300 from the hijack. Eisen called.

An A♦ hit the turn and again Eisen went into check-call mode after Solano bet 3,300. When the K♥ landed on the river, both knuckled the table and Eisen flipped over A♣Q♦ for a pair of aces. Solano looked at the board and then back at his cards before he tossed them away, meaning Eisen scooped up the pot.

Erik Eisen	80,000 15,400	15,400
