Monster Turn Makes for Massive Pot for Piccioli
We caught just the tail end of a big hand involving Bryan Piccioli, but he was kind enough to fill in the blanks after the hand had completed.
The action folded to Piccioli on the button and he opened for 37,000. The big blind called and checked on [10h3s6h]. Piccioli bet 50,000 and his opponent called.
With the [Ad] appearing on the turn, the big blind checked once more. Piccioli bet 129,000 and faced a check-raise to 420,000 soon enough. Piccioli thought about it for just a bit before he called.
The [9c] completed the board and the big blind checked. Piccioli checked behind and showed a winner holding [AhKh] as his opponent had the weaker kicker tabling [AsQh].

With the tournament well underway in Level 6, the constant entering of new players has slowed down a bit. The number of entries is up to 163 now, with 128 players remaining. That makes for an average stack of almost 1.3 million, good for 80 big blinds.

More for Molson
We only got there on the flop as we saw a bet of 125,000 in front of big blind Will Molson on a flop of [Jd5h4d]. The small blind called and they both checked the [3s] on the turn. The [8c] on the river saw the small blind bet out 175,000. Molson thought about it for a bit, used a time extension card, and eventually called.
The small blind showed [9h9d] but Molson tabled the winner with [ThTc].

Wheeler Busts Klatt
Andreas Klatt was seen exiting the tournament area while Jason Wheeler had a much bigger stack all of the sudden. Those two facts were related, as Wheeler explained a bit after the clash.
Wheeler opened under the gun plus one for 25,000 and Andreas Klatt in middle position was the sole caller.
On a board of [Qx10x3c], Wheeler checked. Klatt, working with a stack of about 400,000 to start the hand, bet 25,000 and Wheeler called.
The [6c] on the turn saw Wheeler check again. Klatt bet 90,000 and Wheeler moved in. Klatt used a time extension card before he called it off with [AsQs]. Wheeler showed [KdKh] and saw his hand surviving with an off-suit [2x] on the river.
