Erick Torres

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ueberton De Aquino raised to 1,700 from the hijack. Tom-Aksel Bedell called from the cutoff, and Christoph Vogelsang came along from the big blind.

Vogelsang checked the 6♠A♠2♥ flop before De Aquino put out a bet of 2,100. Bedel got out of the way, and Vogelsang stuck around.

A round of checks happened after the J♠ peeled on the turn.

The 8♥ river saw Vogelsang take the betting lead with a wager of 2,500. De Aquino mulled it over before he made the call.

Vogelsang showed A♣9♣ as De Aquino mucked his hand.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action was joined with a pot of 7,900 already in the middle and a board reading 4♥5♥7♥10♠.

Big blind Ali Shahni checked the action to Kristen Foxen, on the button, who placed a bet of 5,000. Shahni called, and the two went to a 8♣ river.

Shahni checked again, and this time Foxen elected to check behind. Shahni turned over his J♥10♣, which was good enough to lay claim to the pot, as Foxen mucked her cards.

Erick Torres

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pierre Nasr began the hand with a raise to 1,800 from the cutoff. The raise was called by Kevin Nathan on the button and Akihiro Konishi in the big blind.

Konishi checked the 3♥9♠7♦ flop before Nasr bet 1,600. Nathan got out of the hand, and Konishi came along with a call.

The 2♠ turn led to a check from Konishi before Nasr put out a bet of 3,500. Konishi called to see a river.

Konishi deferred to Nasr, who bet 6,500 on the 2♦ river. Konishi gave it some thought before he called.

Nasr tapped the table and showed K♠Q♦ for king-high, while Konishi revealed 8♦3♦ for two pair, which was enought to drag in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 1,600 from the cutoff, and Jonathan Azoulay elected to three-bet to 4,000 on the button. The action folded back to Yaroshevskyy, who called.

Both players opted to check on the J♦A♣9♠ flop, and the dealer added the 8♦ to the board.

Yaroshevskyy took over the betting lead, putting out a bet of 7,500, which Azoulay called.

The river brought the 2♥ prompting Yaroshevskyy to bet again, this time for 20,000. Azoulay then looked at his opponents' stack up and down, before moving all in.

Yaroshevskyy snap-called, tabling 9♣9♥ for a set. Azoulay mucked his cards, and after receiving an official count of his opponents stack, paid him 58,000.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jack Corrigan opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and Christian Roberts called from the button. Daniel Vicente three-bet to 8,600 from the big blind and only Corrigan called.

The flop came 6♠8♥7♥. Vicente bet 10,000, Corrigan shoved for 32,600 and Vicente snap-called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Jack Corrigan: A♥10♥ All in
Daniel Vicente: A♦K♣

Vicente had the best made hand with ace-king high but Corrigan had plenty of outs with the nut-flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. Vicente failed to improve as the rest of the board ran out 7♠7♦ and was sent to the rail while Vicente took down a nice pot.

Erick Torres

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Manuel Pochat began the hand with a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff. Vitalijs Zavorotnijs called from the big blind.

Zavorotnijs checked the 9♣K♣7♥ flop before Pochat bet 2,200. Zavorotnijs called the bet to head to a turn.

Both players opted to check the 6♦ turn, which prompted the 8♥ river.

Zavorotnijs chose to bet on the river to the tune of 5,600 before Pochat raised to 15,000. Zavorotnijs gave it some thought before he folded to award Pochat the pot.

Despite winning the pot, Pochat exited the tournament shortly after.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

When action folded to Felipe Ketzer, he moved all in for his final 3,100. Julian Milliard was the only player to make the call, putting Ketzer at risk.

Felipe Ketzer: J♠8♠ All in
Julian Milliard: K♦J♣

It was bad news for Ketzer, who was at risk and dominated.

Hope was provided in the form of a flush draw on the A♠7♠J♥ flop, but the board bricked out on the 6♣ turn and 3♣ river, sending Ketzer to the rail.
