Vojtech Cervinka
Vojtech Cervinka

A short-stacked Juan Maceiras was all-in for what appeared to be just over ten big blinds and he was looked up by Vojtech Cervinka.

Juan Maceiras: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Vojtech Cervinka: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The suited overcards improved on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop and Maceiras found no help anymore on the {7-Clubs} turn, the {8-Hearts} river was another blank.

Nacer Chips Up; Shows a Move

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With some 25,000 in the middle to the {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} turn, Michal Hryncewicz faced a bet worth 18,000 by Samir Hadj Nacer.

"How much do you have behind?" the Pole inquired and Nacer replied almost immediately "around 19k". Hryncewicz then folded and was shown the {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} by Nacer.

No longer featured on the table are Petr Targa and Lukas Zaskodny while Mike Takayama holds the biggest stack.

Fabrice Bigot
Fabrice Bigot

Ranno Sootla got his chips in preflop and was quickly looked up by Fabrice Bigot as both players turned over pocket pairs.

Ranno Sootla: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Fabrice Bigot: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Sootla was knocked out. "Good game," the Estonian said in table chat and Bigot replied back "do you still want to go for dinner?" Some chatter between them followed, indicating that they had previously agreed to go to the same place for the dinner break on level six.

Moschitta Donks Flop, Leads River

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Luca Moschitta opened for 700 and was three-bet to 2,000 by Leonidas Androutsos on the button. Moschitta made the call and the two headed to a flop.

The dealer spread the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Moschitta decided to lead from out of position for 2,100. Androustsos made the call.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}. Moschitta decided to check that card, and Androutsos was fine to check behind.

The river fell the {6-Clubs}, Moschitta picked the betting back up with a bet of 4,500. Androutsos made the call after about a minute.

Moschitta showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for flopped top pair, and that was good enough to cause Androutsos to send his cards into the muck.

Koerts Catches Chips With Aces

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a heads-up pot. The board read {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and about 5,500 was in the middle.

Lars Koerts checked to his lone opponent, and Jordan Saccucci went for a bet of 2,500. Koerts revealed his plan of a check-raise to 6,200. Saccucci went into the tank, but finally decided to move in for about 16,000, which Koerts snap-called.

Jordan Saccucci: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Lars Koerts: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Saccucci had the open-ender, but a couple of his outs were in Koerts' hand. The {5-Clubs} and {4-Diamonds} turn and river were no help and Saccucci hit the rail.
