Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mekhali Mekhail
Mekhali Mekhail

Adel Naoun opened to 1,500 before Mekhail Mekhail made it 4,000 from the next seat over. Scott Barnes called the 4,000 bet, but Naoun shoved his last 25,000. Both Mekhail and Barnes called and action was three ways with Naoun at risk.

The flop was {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Mekhail immediately shoved. Barnes got out of the way and the remaining two players turned up their cards.

Adel Naoun: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Mekhail Mekhail: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board finished up with {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Mekhail held on with queens to send Naoun to the rail with a missed flush draw.

Evgenii Tsatskin opened to 1,500 from early position and Ramon Lampert put in a three-bet to 3,500 next to act. Action folded to Aurelie Reard on the button who cold-called and the rest of the table got out of the way.

The flop came {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both players checked their options to the {j-Clubs} turn. Lampert checked and Reard bet out 4,500, which Lampert called.

On the {5-Spades} river both players checked to a showdown and Lampert tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for two-pair. Reard mucked her hand and the chips were sent to Lampert.

Sharma Takes Four-Bet Pot Off Hand

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Fintan Hand
Fintan Hand

Sebastian Toro opened the action to 1,200 from under the gun and it folded to Rajat Sharma who put in a three-bet to 3,200 from the hijack. Fintan Hand elected on a four-bet to 6,500 on the button and only Sharma came along.

The flop fanned out {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Sharma check-called a bet of 2,500 from Hand. On the {j-Clubs} turn both players slowed down with a check to the {j-Hearts} river.

Sharma elected to lead out for 2,000, and Hand quickly made the call. Sharma rolled over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for two-pair, enough to score the pot when Hand tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for only ace-high.

Ephremsen Takes With Flop Bet

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was three ways with 5,000 in the pot and {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} on the board when Lucas Silva Rocha bet 1,600. Paul Ephremsen called from the next seat over before Shawn Buchanan raised to 4,600 from the button.

Rocha raised to 8,000 and Ephremsen spend a few moments in the tank before he made it 20,000. That was too much for Buchanan and he tossed his hand in the muck, while Rocha wasn't too far behind with a fold to give the pot to Ephremsen.

Fintan Hand

Fintan Hand was seen taking in a big pile of chips after he busted another player at the table. Hand had {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} showing on a board of {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades} and his opponent had already mucked before heading for the exit. Players at the table advised he got it in with {a-}{k-}, but he did not have the needed spade.
