Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Shojiro Morita raised to 1,100 from under the gun, which led to a call from Arsenii Karmatckii on the button.

Morita bet 1,500 the flop fanned out 6♥K♣A♦. Karmatchkii responded with a raise to 4,200. Morita called to send them to a turn.

The J♥ turn led to a bet of 3,500 from Morita. Karmatchkii chose to play for it all and jammed for approximately 21,000.

"I have the nuts," Morita said as he called to put Karmatchkii at risk.

Arsenii Karmatckii: K♠6♠
Shojiro Morita: Q♠10♥

The turn was a welcome sight for Morita, who spiked the nut straight, but Karmatchkii did have some outs to a full house to stay alive.

The 2♠ river was not what Karmatchkii hoped for as he was eliminated from contention.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Christoph Vogelsang had raised to 9,000 from the cutoff over some previous action and Armin Rezaei called from the button.

The flop came 10♥5♥7♥. Vogelsang bet 3,500 and Rezaei called.

Both players checked the 9♥ turn leading to the 4♥ river. Vogelsang shoved, covering Rezaei who had just over 20,000 left.

Rezaei called and showed 9♠9♣, having turned a set before the river left him playing just the flush on the board. Vogelsang had J♥8♥ for a straight flush to send Rezaei to the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Krasimir Yankov raised from under the gun to 1,200 and was called by Thomas Boivin on the button. John Pointer wanted to play a bigger pot from the big blind and raised it to 7,200. This led to a call from Yankov and a fold from Boivin.

Pointer opted to bet 5,000 on the 6♣6♠9♥ flop, and Yankov came along with a call to send them to a turn.

The 4♦ turn did not slow Pointer down, as he bet 12,000 on this street and was once again called by Yankov.

Pointer chose to go all-in and put Yankov at risk when the 5♦ hit the river. Yankov wasted no time calling for 21,800.

Pointer showed J♣J♦, but Yankov revealed that he pulled the rug from underneath Pointer on the turn when he showed 4♠4♥ for a full house.
