Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen opened the cutoff to 21,000 and Lucas Greenwood called on the button. In the big blind, Jason Mercier three-bet to 79,000. With the action back on Parssinen, he slid a stack of green T-100,000 chips forward to put both players at risk. Greenwood got out of the way while Mercier quickly called to put himself at risk for around 395,000.

Jason Mercier: J♠J♥ All in
Eelis Parssinen: A♣7♣

Mercier was in good shape to find the double until the A♦10♣7♦ flop vaulted Parssinen into the lead. Nothing changed on the K♠6♣ runout as Mercier hit the exit in brutal fashion at the hands of Parssinen.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Around 350,000 was already in the middle as Chance Kornuth and Pascal Lefrancois went to the turn on a board of 9♦J♣10♣10♥.

Kornuth then bet 90,000 from under the gun and Lefrancois moved all in for 450,000 in the big blind. Kornuth took several minutes until he called to put Lefrancois at risk.

Lefrancois showed A♦8♦ for ace-high, while Kornuth had 8♠8♥. Lefrancois missed the K♥ river and the dealer confirmed Kornuth had him covered before Lefrancois headed for the exit.

"These are some sick motherf**kers," tablemate Nathanael Kogel said as Kornuth raked in the massive pot.

"So sick," Kogel added well after the next hand had begun.

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer opened to 17,000 from middle position and Dylan Weisman called in the big blind.

On the K♠K♣7♣ flop, Ketzer continued for 8,000 before Weisman check-raised to 22,000, and Ketzer called.

The turn brought the A♥. Weisman checked to Ketzer who bet 9,000 and Weisman check-raised again to 75,000, which Ketzer called.

On the 2♣ river, Weisman weighed his options before he opted to jam for his remaining 300,000 or so and Ketzer snapped it off.

Dylan Weisman: 7x3x All in
Felipe Ketzer: K♥K♦

Weisman picked the wrong time to bluff as Ketzer flopped quads and got full value as Weisman hit the rail.

Keating Picks Off Dattani

Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michel Dattani opened from the cutoff and Alex Keating called on the button.

On the K♣J♠8♦ flop, Dattani checked to Keating who bet 40,000 and Dattani put in the call.

The 6♥ turn checked through to the 9♠ river which saw Dattani lead for 90,000. Keating thought it over for a while, asking questions and staring at Dattani before he decided to stick in the call.

Michel Dattani: A♠Q♦
Alex Keating: A♣9♣

Keating's rivered third pair was good enough as Dattani was bluffing with a missed gutshot.

"Don't bluff bro...this is live poker," joked tablemate Anatoly Filatov as Keating scooped the pot.
