Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 1,000 ante

Luigi D'Alterio opened from the cutoff to 1,600 and Alejandro Lococo three-bet to 5,100. Pierre Zerbib was in the small blind and cold-called before D'Alterio followed that up with a call of his own.

The trio saw a Q♦A♦4♦ flop and the action checked to Lococo, who put another T-5,000 chip in the middle. Zerbib called once more, but D'Alterio did not like the diamonds and got out of the way.

The 4♥ turn checked around before Zerbib put his remaining 16,600 chips in the middle on the 8♣ river. Lococo thought the situation over for a good bit before throwing in a single chip for a call.

Zerbib showed down K♦Q♠ for a thin value bet and it worked out as his second pair beat the J♦J♣ of Lococo.

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 1,000 ante

A 11,500 pot was brewing between Luigi D'Alterio, Mehdi Chaoui, and Shakhabiddin Muradov. All postflop cards were dealt and the board read 10♣6♦5♥K♦2♣. D'Alteria checked from the small blind to Chaoui in middle position, who overbet for an all-in sizing of 15,700.

Muradov tanked for a while but ultimately ended up folding. D'Alterio quickly followed suit and Muradov instantly let Chaoui know that he folded his king-jack for top pair. In response, Chaoui showed a J♠.

Conor Beresford, who is also at the table, laughed and keenly noted: ''That's a chop at worst!''.

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 1,000 ante

On a completed board of 9♦3♣3♥J♠2♣, Aram Sargsyan checked to Nicolas Julien. Julien put out a bet of 14,000 into a pot of 19,500 and Sargsyan immediately made the call with the chip he was holding the entire street.

Julien happily showed K♦J♦, which frustrated Sargsyan as he tabled a Jx to signify that he had the same pair with a weaker kicker. Sargsyan was left with less than 10 big blinds, but he recouped some chips from Julien the next hand as he check-raised the flop all in after defending his big blind.

Nível 6 : Blinds 400/800, 1,000 ante

Maria Konnikova raised from under the gun to 1,600 and Franck Kalfon called from two seats over. Nicolas Hamouni made it 9,000 to go and that forced both players out of the pot before the flop.

On the next hand, Antonio Queijeiro limped from under the gun and Nicolas Hamouni came in from the small blind. Konnikova made it 3,200 from the big blind and Kalfon called before Hamouni tossed his hand in the muck. The flop was 5♠K♦A♥ and Konnikova took it down with a 1,500 bet.
