Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On the very next hand Adam Miller raised to 1,400 and called a three-bet from Davidi Kitai to 4,200.

Miller check-called bets of 2,800 on the flop and 9,500 on the turn.

Both players checked the river. Miller showed for the nut flush and Kitai mucked.

"Had to show two there!" he joked, chipping up to around 45,000.

He sits at a table between Chris Maguire PokerStars Ambassador Ben Spragg.

Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Mats Ullereng:
Wayne Heung:

The preflop cooler became a real sweat when the flop landed to give Heung a flush draw. Ullereng let out a sigh as the peeled off on the turn to give his opponent the lead with a flush but also leaving him hope with a set.

The whole table was left silent when the dealer then peeled off the on the river to give Ullereng a full house to double up. Heung, who looked defeated after likely experiencing a variety of motions throughout the hand, was left short and was eliminated a few hands later.
