Zamani Eliminated by Luo

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jan-Peter Jachtmann raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Martin Zamani then piled in his short stack of what appeared to be 14,400 from the next seat. It folded to Shuang Luo, who moved all-in over the top from the big blind.

Jachtmann was visibly upset and shot out of his chair before folding, claiming later on he folded ace-jack.

Martin Zamani: 98
Shuang Luo: A5

Zamani gained a ton of equity on the 764 flop but bricked the 6 turn as well as A river.

Luo told Jachtmann after the hand that she was perhaps trying to re-enter with the gutsy move.

Williams Takes a Chunk Off Svesko

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Josh Arieh, David Williams
Josh Arieh, David Williams

Darko Svesko opened in middle position to 1,700 before the action folded to Game of Gold Star David Williams in the big blind who defended.

The A410 flop landed and Williams check-called a 1,500 bet from Svesko before the 3 rolled off on the turn.

The action checked to Svesko again and after a short tank he went with another bet of 3,600. Williams called again.

The Q hit the river and the action checked through. Williams tabled A8 and Svesko mucked.

Aubakirov Gets a Shove Through

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Daniyar Aubakirov faced an open raise to 2,000 and three-bet, announcing the amount and splashing in two yellow T-5,000 chips. There was a cold four-bet to 12,200 behind to force out the initial raiser. Aubakirov wasted little time before moving all-in and won the pot uncontested.

The Kazakh poker pro moved back to the starting stack, well behind table neighbour Alex Livingston who has heaps.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Patrick Tardif
Patrick Tardif

In a preflop raising war, Patrick Tardif got his stack of 42,100 into the middle against Hector Grangel and once the cards were revealed, it was obvious why.

Patrick Tardif: AA
Hector Grangel: KK

The 875 flop was a mighty sweat for the Canadian online streamer but he held onto the lead thanks to the Q turn and 9 river.

"I played that hand really good, I am the greatest player in the field," Tardif joked with a big smile on the face.
