Nível 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mustafa Ercan made it 2,500 from middle position and Nemo Koering three-bet to 8,000 in the hijack. When it got back to Ercan, he quickly called.

The flop came 6♣9♥3♠ and after Ercan checked, Koering shouted out "Nine", and made a bet of 9,000, which got some giggles from the table.

"What did I do?" asked Koering. "I won't say anything anymore," he joked.

Ercan eventually called and the two saw an A♦ drop on the turn, which went check-check to the 4♣ river. Ercan checked again, then Koering quietly announced a bet of 24,000, which got Ercan to fold.

Nível 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a double-paired board of 7♦3♦7♠3♥ with around 8,000 chips in the pot, all three of Alisa Sibgatova, Simone Andrian, and Antoine Talvard checked to see the 9♦ drop in the river. Sibgatova was first to act from the small blind and fired out 3,500, which got Andrian to fold in the big blind position.

When it got to Talvard, he put in a min-raise to 7,000, which Sibgatova called after a short time.

Talvard then flipped over the Cowboys with K♦K♥, and Sibgatova mucked her cards.

Nível 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were already around 50,000 chips in the middle of the table on a board of 4♥6♦4♠10♠ when Andrei Spataru checked the turn and Felipe Ketzer fired a small bet of 6,500.

Spataru responded with a shove for over 100,000, which put Ketzer to the test for his stack of a similar amount. After thinking it over for a while, Ketzer elected to fold, and relinquished the pot to Spataru.

Nível 6 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Walid Bou Habib and Fabio Peluso both had similar stacks of around 55,000 and got them into the middle preflop with the latter needing a lot of help.

Fabio Peluso: K♥J♥ All in
Walid Bou Habib: Q♣Q♥

Habib was on track for a double-up and was still well in the lead after the 9♣3♥A♠ flop. A 10♦ on the turn did give Peluso some extra out as any queen would complete Broadway, however it was the K♠ river that earned him a double-up as he made a pair of kings, prompting Habib to launch his cards back to the dealer.

Chaoui Makes the Right Call

Nível 7 : Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a full board of 7♣7♦K♠10♠2♠, there were around 40,000 chips in the pot when Mehdi Chaoui checked it over to Cheng Zhao, who shoved the river. Chaoui had around 65,000 behind and was thinking about how to proceed, but according to his tablemates, he was taking too long to do so as one of them called the clock.

The floor came over and started to give the countdown, then Chaoui said to his opponent, "Will you show me if I fold?". Zhao remained motionless and with just a few seconds to go until his hand would be declared dead, Chaoui called.

"Good call," said Zhao, who then rolled over 8♠6♦ for a bluff. Chaoui flipped J♣J♦ to claim the pot, but still wasn't too impressed the clock was called on him.

"Do you think it's ok to call the clock one minute after I got the count?" he asked.

Either way, Chaoui is the new owner of a lot of chips and has around 170,000 to work with in the penultimate level of the day.
