Kai Cocklin

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 20,000 chips in the middle on a bord of 2♥7♣8♥, Claudio Di Giacomo fired out 13,000, which Negjdet Avdylaj called.

A 9♣ dropped on the turn and Di Giacomo went into check-call mode after Avdylaj bet 18,000.

When the 8♠ hit the river, Di Giacomo checked again and was faced with a bet of 25,000 from Advylaj. After a short time contemplating, Di Giacomo called.

Avdylaj then showed 10♦8♦ for trip eights, and Di Giacomo mucked.

Seyed Dezfooli min-raised from under the gun to 2,000 and Patrick Behrens called on the button. Kai Herold also came along from the big blind.

On the flop of 10♥K♠6♠, it checked around to the 2♥ turn, and once the action got to Behrens, he fired 2,500. Both Herold and Dezfooli called.

A K♥ landed on the river and again all three players elected to check it down. Herold showed 8♠6♦ for a pair of sixes, Dezfooli had 9♦9♠ which was good for the pot as Behrens mucked.

Giorgio Donzelli: K♠K♣ All in
Paulius Vaitiekunas: A♣K♦

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Paul Runcan raised to 2,000 in the hijack. Fahredin Mustafov called in the small blind while Markus Zimmerer defended in the big blind.

The flop fell 2♣5♣8♥. Mustafov led out for 4,000, getting a quick fold from Zimmerer's 5♠4♠. Runcan called, however, and bet 8,000 when Mustafov checked the J♣ turn.

Mustafov called before he checked the 6♦ river as well. Runcan put in 25,000 for a bet, after which Mustafov shoved all in for 111,000. Runcan spent about half a minute in the tank before flicking in the call.

Mustafov tabled 6♣4♣ for a flush, besting the two pair of Runcan, who showed his J♠8♠ before paying his opponent. Mustafov reclaimed the table chip lead, leaving Runcan relegated to just over a starting stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fahredin Mustafov	254,000 103,000	103,000

Action was picked up on the river with the cards on their backs.

On the 2♥10♦K♦8♣9♦ runout, Niklas Astedt, who was in the small blind, had Q♦J♠ for the nut straight. However his hand was no good versus the 7♦5♦ of Kestutis Jungevicius. He made a flush on the river to stack Astedt and scoop in a big pot.

The action checked around on the 5♠J♠3♥ flop and the A♦ hit the turn. Pilhofer checked, and Madanzhiev bet 3,000 which only Di Giacomo called.

Madanzhiev bet 10,000 on the 8♦ river and Di Giacomo quickly folded.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Janne Nevalainen raised to 2,000 in the hijack with Q♠J♣. Paul Runcan looked down at A♠K♣ on the button, putting in a three-bet to 6,500 Nevalainen made the call, after which he check-called Runcan's bet of 3,500 on the 2♠A♥5♣ flop.

Nevalainen's float gained a purpose when he check-raised Runcan's bet of 11,000 on the 4♥ turn to 33,000. However, Runcan cooly three-bet jammed.

Nevalainen immediately released his queen-high. Runcan solidified his position as table chip leader while Nevalainen dove under the starting stack

On a board of 6♠5♥7♣, a bet, raise, and a call between Boris Angelov and Sirzat Hissou left around 45,000 chips in the pot going to the Q♦ turn, which was checked through.
