Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri opened from the button to 4,500 with Artur Martirosian calling out of the small blind, and Nikita Kuznetcov defending his big blind.

The flop of 8♦10♣5♠ was checked to Mokri and he bet 5,000. Martirosian called, but Kuznetcov folded.

Martirosian led out for 6,000 when the dealer put out the 5♥ turn. Mokri raised to 20,000, which Martirosian called.

Both players checked the J♦ river and Martirosian tabled K♠8♠ for a pair of eights. Mokri had that beat with Q♦10♥ for a pair of tens and dragged in the pot.

The action was picked up on the turn with the board showing 2♣A♠4♣7♥. Teun Mulder bet 13,000 from the small blind into a pot of 19,000. Juan Pardo called from the big blind and Aleksejs Ponakovs folded on the button.

Mulder bet 33,000 when the 10♥ hit the river. After using a time-bank card, Pardo shoved for Mulder's remaining 62,000, and Mulder snap-called.

Pardo showed A♣2♥ for a flopped two pair, but lost the pot to Mulder's rivered two pair with A♦10♣.

One of the most entertaining shows in poker is stepping it up a notch as PokerStars announced that the next season of Big Game on Tour will feature four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL star Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski.

Gronkowski, who spent 11 seasons as a tight end in the NFL and is now a sports analyst, will compete on the upcoming The Big Game on Tour season alongside the pros, Loose Cannons and sports media personality Nick Wright, whose appearance was also confirmed on Thursday.

“I’m always up for a challenge, and diving into the world of poker is going to be an amazing new adventure for me," Gronkowski said in a press release. “I’m beyond excited to play alongside some of the best in the game and tackle the high-stakes action. Just like on the football field, I’ll be bringing my competitive edge and giving it everything I’ve got at the tables.”

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened from the cutoff to 4,000 with Vladimir Korzinin calling on the button and Atanas Malinov defending from the big blind.

Mateos bet 5,000 on the K♥8♠10♠ flop, which only Korzinin called.

The 6♥ came on the turn and Mateos check-called a bet of 13,000 from Korzinin.

Both players checked the 4♥ river and Mateos turned over Q♠3♠ for a busted flush draw with just queen-high. Much to the amusement of the table, he took down the pot as Korzinin showed J♣9♥ for a missed straight draw and jack-high.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adrian Mateos	115,000 15,000	15,000

Vladimir Korzinin	100,000 -41,000	-41,000
