Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In the final hand before the end of the level, the flop showed Q♦10♣7♠ and Atanas Malinov checked out of the big blind. Farid Jattin bet 3,200 on the button for Malinov to call.
That led to the 6♠ turn on which Malinov checked again. Jattin now bet 15,600 and Malinov reluctantly called.
They headed to the 9♦ river on which Malinov checked the third time. Jattin bet big and left just a single chip behind, which had Malinov covered. The Hungarian grinned and folded.

The pot stood at 6,500 with two players looking at a full board of 10♣K♠2♥10♠6♥.
Dorian Decauche, in the big blind, led out for 2,200. Joao Sydenstricker, who was under the gun, thought for some time before making the call, prompting Decauche to table K♥10♦ for a full house, winning him this pot.

Fabiano Kovalski defended his big blind with a short stack against a raise in early position by Finn Zwad. On the J♣9♣3♥ flop, Kovalski checked with 8,400 behind and Zwad bet 2,000 into 3,500. The check-shove by Kovalski followed and Zwad called within a few seconds.
Fabiano Kovalski: 9♥7♣
Finn Zwad: K♦Q♦
The Brazilian was ahead with his second pair but the 10♥ turn instantly improved Zwad to the king-high straight to leave Kovalski drawing dead, whose two pair with the 7♠ river were meaningless.

Cedric Schwaederle raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Anatoly Korochenskiy three-bet to 3,700 from the button, which Schwaederle called.
The flop came 10♥7♣7♠. Schwaederle checked, Korochenskiy bet 4,500 and Schwaederle called. The turn was the 4♠. Schwaederle checked again and Korochenskiy bet 7,200. Schwaederle once again called.
The river was the Q♣ and Schwaederle moved all in for 23,500. Korochenskiy folded and attempted to guess his opponent's hand, although Schwaederle wasn't up for giving anything away.

Iulian-Remus Blebea opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Dario Sammartino in the cutoff. Ondrej Chalcar squeezed to 3,700 on the button and both Blebea and Sammartino called.
It was checked to Chalcar on the 4♦9♣Q♥ flop and he continued for 4,500. Blebea folded, but Sammartino called.
Sammartino check-called a 7,500 bet from Chalcar on the 4♠ turn, but check-folded facing an all-in bet from Chalcar on the 7♦ river, which was enough to put Sammartino all in for his last 20,500.

The Q♥ saw Angelov size down with a bet of 8,500. Xanthopoulos was undeterred.
The 3♠ river saw Angelov empty the clip, moving all in for approximately 35,000. Xanthopoulos went into the tank, ultimately deciding to fold.

Simon Brandström raised to 1,300 and earned calls from Antonio Buonanno as well as Ami Barer out of the blinds. The latter two checked the Q♥6♦5♠ flop and Brandström bet 1,800. Only Buonanno called before the 7♣ turn was checked.
Following the 9♦ river, Buonanno bet 2,300 and Brandström gave up the pot.
