Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Adrian Mateos started it off with a raise to 15,000 from the cutoff. Leonard Maue came along from the button, as did Tamas Adamszki from the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of 5♣A♦8♥, on which Adamszki checked before Mateos fired another 15,000 into the middle. Maue quickly folded, while Adamszki stuck around with a call.

On the 2♣ turn, Adamszki checked again and Mateos upped his sizing to 58,000 chips. However, Adamszki then raised to 225,000. Mateos mulled it over for a bit before committing to a call.

The 10♣ river then completed the board and Adamszki decided to shove his entire stack of 605,000 chips in the middle. Meateos asked for a count and decided on a fold after thinking it over for a while, chipping Adamszki up to more than starting stack, while he descended to below that himself.

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ben Heath raised and was called by Quan Zhou in the small blind, who then checked the J♦3♣2♠ flop and called Heath's bet of 13,000. They checked the 6♠ turn and Zhou led the 5♦ river for 25,000.

Heath raised to 135,000 and Zhou went in the tank, after which Adrian Mateos called the clock on him. Before any count down was given, Zhou called and Heath had the best of it with the K♥4♥.

Tamas Adamszki then opened to 15,000 and Chris Brewer three-bet to 45,000 from one seat over. Zhou clicked it up to 129,000 and it folded back to Adamszki, who used one time bank before moving all-in.

Brewer folded and the same also applied for Zhou as well.

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Teun Mulder raised to 13,000 and Felipe Ketzer called. Tamas Adamszki then squeezed to 45,000 on the button only for Mulder to make it 160,000 to go. Ketzer folded and so did Adamszki.

Gab Yong Kim then opened to 14,000 and received no fewer than three callers. The Q♦9♠7♠ flop saw Quan Zhou in the small blind and Mulder in the big blind check. Kim bet 38,000 to force out Ben Heath, Zhou called and Mulder folded.

After the A♥ turn, Zhou check-called for 90,000 and opted to lead the 5♠ river for 255,000 with what appeared to be 280,000 behind.

Kim went deep into the tank and used four time bank extensions before folding.
