Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up with Khari Hutchings in the small blind all in for 30,900 and David Bowen from under the gun position debating his decision. Bowen eventually flicked in a chip to call, putting Bowen at risk.

Khari Hutchings: Q♠Q♦ All in
David Bowen: A♦9♦

Hutchings was in a great position with his pocket queens, until the board ran out A♣A♥3♠4♣6♣ to improve Bowen to trip aces and eliminate Hutchings from the tournament.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Vlad Darie raised to 1,800 from early position. he was called by Naoya Kihara on the button, the player in the small blind, and Carol Harmon out of the big blind.

The small blind checked, and Harmon led out for 1,600 on the 4♦2♦5♠ flop. Darie called before Kihara raised to 5,200. The small blind folded, but Harmon raised to 15,000. Darie got out the way, and Kihara called.

The turn came the 3♦. Harmon bet 25,000 with roughly 30,000 chips behind. Kihara raised to put Harmon all in and she snap called.

Carol Harmon: A♦J♦ All in
Naoya Kihara: 8♦6♦

The 3♥ on the river didn't give Kihara the straight flush he needed to win, meaning Harmon doubled up with the ace-high flush.

Naoya Kihara	225,000 -3,300	-3,300

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river with 48,500 in the pot and the board showing J♦7♣J♥4♦J♠.

Nirssan Sivalingam was facing an all-in bet of 46,200 from David Cover which would put Sivalingam all in for less.

After contemplating his decision, Sivalingam did make the call to put his tournament life at risk. Cover tabled A♥A♦ for a full house, jacks full of aces. Sivalingam revealed he had QxQx before tossing his cards into the muck and exiting the tournament area.

Heads-up to the K♣5♦4♠ flop, Loic Debregeas bet 7,000 and was called by Garrett Demaline from the next seat. The French player then bet the 5♠ turn for 15,000 and Demaline folded.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Sam Johnson, Robert Burlacu, and Todd Phillips were three-ways to a turn of 6♣5♦6♦7♠. Johnson and Phillips had checked from the small blind and early position respectively before Burlacu made a bet of 13,500 into the pot of 23,000.

Johnson then jammed all in, covering the other two players. Phillips quickly folded but Burlacu tanked for 30 seconds or so before committing his stack.

Robert Burlacu: K♠K♦ All in
Sam Johnson: 7♣5♠

Burlacu had the higher two pair with his kings and sixes, but the 5♥ river gave Johnson a full house to eliminate his opponent.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joe Tehan raised to 2,000 in middle position and Viorel Tonef called on the button. Christoffer Janlow then moved all in for 19,500 in the small blind and both Tehan and Tonef called.

"Let's just open it up," Tehan joked with Tonef heading to the flop.

"Check it down. Gentleman's agreement," another tablemate added. Tehan and Tonef did check down the 6♥J♥4♥10♣A♥ board and Tehan showed K♠Q♠ for a straight.

Tonef mucked 7♣7♠, while Janlow tossed A♦J♦ into the muck before making an early Day 2 exit.
