Midway Through Level 5

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko limped under the gun and so did Andreas Dyll from the hijack. Umperto Ferrauto made it 2,000 from the button, which got a call from Shylko and a fold from Dyll.

The flop came down {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} and after a check from Shylko, Ferrauto bet 2,500 which Shylko called.

Both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river. Shylko showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair and took down the pot.

Thiemer Shows the Bluff Against Saliba

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Frederik Thiemer raised to 1,300 and got three callers including Vivian Saliba in the big blind.

Saliba checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop to Thiemer who continued for 3,200. Saliba was the only caller.

The pair checked the {5-Hearts} turn and the river was the {j-Spades}. Saliba checked again and Thiemer bet 6,400.

Saliba tanked before eventually folding.

"Hey, PokerNews!" said Thiemer. "Bluff!" He showed {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for king-high and took down the pot.

No Action in Five-Way Pot

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Five players checked down a board of {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}. One player showed a {4-} having been counterfeit by Leonardo Armino who held {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

One of the players involved was Vasileios Tsaknis who still sits with around 70,000.

Massive Pot for Golaszewski

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three players saw the flop of {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and it was Arkadiusz Golaszewski who bet 3,300. An opponent next to him shoved for around 13,000 and Shakil Gill re-shoved for 35,000, covering both opponents.

Golaszewski thought for a bit and decided to call and the cards were turned over.

Arkadiusz Golaszewski: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}
Shakil Gill: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The turn {k-Spades} and the {9-Clubs} river eliminated one player while Golaszewski picked up a huge pot, passing the 70,000 mark, while Gill was left short-stacked.
