There was no cagey feeling each other out period, Jennifer Tilly and Dan Shak played a big (chopped) pot on the first hand and Tobias Reinkemeier and Talal Shakerchi got busy on the third hand. And then Sam Trickett and Jungleman played a 420,000 chip pot (see below). By virtue of winning that pot it&#8217;s Trickett who leads after one level. The blinds have just gone up to 2,000 &#8211; 4,000.<\/p>\n<p>The players chip stacks are as below. The +\/- figure in brackets is their profit\/loss since the end of the last level and the big blind figure is how many they have for the current level.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Trickett \u2013 436,000 (+166,000) 109 big blinds<br \/>\nJonathan Duhamel \u2013 397,000 (-23,000) 99 big blinds<br \/>\nDan Shak \u2013 395,000 (+ 5,000) 99 big blinds<br \/>\nTobias Reinkemeier \u2013 388,000 (-72,000) 97 big blinds<br \/>\nDaniel \u201cJungleman\u201d Cates \u2013 320,000 (-20,000) 80 big blinds<br \/>\nJennifer Tilly \u2013 241,000 (+51,000) 60 big blinds<br \/>\nTalal Shakerchi \u2013 217,000 (-63,000) 53 big blinds<br \/>\nAntonio Esfandiari \u2013 186,000 (-44,000) 46.5 big blinds<\/p>\n<h3> Good level for<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jennifer Tilly <\/strong> She had the shortest stack at the start of play, but added 51,000 to it to move into the pack. She&#8217;s mixing it up nicely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Trickett <\/strong> The Brit won a big pot against Jungleman (see below) and has taken the chip lead and added over 150,000 to his chip count.<\/p>\n<h3> Bad level for<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Tobias Reinkemeier<\/strong> The German was chip leader coming into the final table but lost big pots to Talal Shakerchi and Jungleman to slide down the rankings during the first level. He still has plenty of chips and you can&#8217;t see him pressing the panic button anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talal Shakerchi<\/strong> The Brit got off to a flyer but lost a big pot to Jennifer Tilly to slide into the red after level one.<\/p>\n<h3> Hand of the level <\/h3>\n<p>Sam Trickett won a big pot from Jungleman and we saw the first all-in of the final table\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The pot was opened by Antonio Esfandiari who made it 5,000 to go with pocket sixes, Sam Trickett called with pocket twos, Jungleman then made it 20,000 with <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/qc.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\"> both Esfandiari and Trickett called.<\/p>\n<p>The flop came <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/2h.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/kc.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/9s.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\">, it checked to Jungleman who fired 25,000, Trickett check-raised to 62,000 and Jungleman made the call. On the <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/8c.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> turn Trickett laid the trap, checking it to Jungleman who fired 50,000, Trickett just smooth called, there was 287,000 in the pot.

When he drew seat eight he was delighted.&#8221; &#8211; Jesse May on the importance of seat draw.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Duhamel might be the only person with a worse seat draw than Antonio. He&#8217;s got Antonio and Trickett on his left who love to three-bet, he might have to four-bet them.&#8221; = Phil Hellmuth on how Jonathan Duhamel has drawn a bad seat at this final table.<\/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?
