The +\/- figure in brackets is their profit\/loss since the end of level one and the big blind figure is how many they have for the current level.<\/p>\n<p>Talal Shakerchi &#8211; 439,000 (+142,000) 73 big blinds<br \/>\nTobias Reinkemeier &#8211; 400,000 (+65,000) 67 big blinds<br \/>\nJason Mercier &#8211; 348,000 (+13,000) 58 big blinds<br \/>\nDan Shak &#8211; 331,000 (-10,000) 55 big blinds<br \/>\nPhil Laak &#8211; 303,000 (-7,000) 50 big blinds<br \/>\nIgor Kurganov &#8211; 234,000 (-93,000) 39 big blinds<br \/>\nTony G &#8211; 205,000 (-39,000) 34 big blinds<br \/>\nJennifer Tilly &#8211; 140,000 (-91,000) 23 big blinds<\/p>\n<h3> Good level for <\/h3>\n<p><strong>Talal Shakerchi<\/strong> The Brit came out all guns blazing in heat one and paid for it when he finished seventh. He&#8217;s been a bit more conservative in the opening two levels of this heat, but has still managed to accumulate some chips and give himself a decent chance of going deep in this heat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tobias Reinkemeier<\/strong> The German &#8216;weatherman&#8217; had a level full of blue skies and sunny periods and right now there are no grey clouds on the horizon. The forecast is currently predicting another bountiful points haul for Reinkemeier.<\/p>\n<h3> Bad level for <\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jennifer Tilly<\/strong> For the second level on the bounce Tilly&#8217;s stack shrunk and she&#8217;s now getting into the danger zone. &#8220;It&#8217;s been sort of a dribble away,&#8221; said Jesse May. Whilst Toby Lewis added. &#8220;She&#8217;s not really won a pot. I think she should take advantage of her image more and three-bet more often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Igor Kurganov<\/strong> The hand against Talal Shakerchi (see below) contributed to a level in which Kurganov lost almost 100,000 chips &#8211; a third of the starting stack. That pot aside he&#8217;s looked impressive but will need to turn it around if he&#8217;s to give himself a chance in this heat.<\/p>\n<h3> Hand of the level <\/h3>\n<p>From the cut-off Igor Kurganov raised to 9,000 with <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/ac.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/qs.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\">, from the button Talal Shakerchi re-raised to 21,000 with <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/jh.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/3h.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\">, &#8220;this is why I love Talal,&#8221; said Toby Lewis. Back on Kurganov he made the call. On the <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/jc.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/4d.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/th.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> flop Kurganov checked, Shakerchi bet 31,000 into 48,000 and Kurganov made the call. &#8220;That&#8217;s how I expected the flop to go,&#8221; said Lewis.<\/p>\n<p>The <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/2s.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> fell on the turn, once more Kurganov checked, again Shakerchi bet, this time 44,000 and after some contemplation Kurganov made the call. The <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/4h.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> hit the river, &#8220;this is just going to go check, check,&#8221; said Lewis, so it did and Shakerchi took the pot.<\/p>\n<h3> View from the booth <\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;She has gotten busy in the first two levels.&#8221; &#8211; Jesse May on Jennifer Tilly<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I predict he&#8217;s going to be the President of Lithuania in the next 20 years,&#8221; Jesse May on Tony G<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he might have to put the other letters of his surname in, President Tony G, might not go down too well.&#8221; &#8211; Toby Lewis on Tony G.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch All The Action and Join The Conversation!<\/h3>\n<p>The PartyPoker.com Premier League VI continues with daily Live Streaming coverage here: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bit.ly\/plpstream\">bit.ly\/plpstream<\/a><\/strong> So who do you think is going to win?
