Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Georgios Zisimopoulos sent Anatoliy Zyrin to the rail and joined the big stacks in level six while Mike Leah also further bumped his stack. The action has become a bit less frantic, but more than 70 bullets were already fired without success with the screens showing 95 players out of 170 entries remaining.

Lisandro Busts One

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

On the heads-up turn of {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Jeff Lisandro bet 2,000 from the big blind and the player in under the gun moved all in for 7,675. Lisandro called after brief consideration.

Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Jeff Lisandro: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {4-Clubs} river turned the two pair of Lisandro into a full house and the opponent was done for now. Some table chat broke out right after with Ethem Tosun and Lisandro added "if he would have played his hand properly, raised preflop and raised the flop, I would have folded."

Another One Bites the Dust

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Four players including Vincent Moscati in the big blind and Ivo Donev from under the gun headed to the flop of {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the action checked to the player one seat over from Donev, who bet 1,600. All three opponents called and the {7-Spades} appeared on the turn. Again Moscati and Donev checked and the pot-sized bet of 7,900 followed.

The button called all in for 6,800 while Moscati and Donev quickly got out of the way. The button had {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for top two pair only to see his opponent turn over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for bottom set. A blank {K-Spades} river changed nothing and yet another player ran out of chips. James Akenhead joined the action on the same table, having registered not long ago.

Fahredin Mustafov
Fahredin Mustafov

Mike Leah limped in from the cutoff and called a raise to 2,350 by the button before both players checked down the {J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop and thge {8-Spades} turn. Leah check-folded the {2-Hearts} river and flashed {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} to see his opponent offer to pick two of the four cards. Leah took the opportunity with a smile on the face and flashed the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Fahredin Mustafov played the same game over on another table when checking a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} out of the big blind. John Racener bet 1,500 and Mustafov check-raised to 6,750. Racener folded and Mustafov first flashed the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} followed by {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a set of deuces.

"Now I get to Play In Position"

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

Brandon Cantu was eliminated after getting it in with the third nuts against the nuts of one opponent, while Mike Leah folded the second nuts. Cantu returned to the very same table and took a seat between his nemesis of the previous hand and Leah, joking "now I get to play in position."

Roberto Romanello busted and got the exact same seat one table over again and the same also applied for Chris Ferguson.
