You need to use a pattern containing Repeated pieces.

Define a list to work with.

x = {{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5,
5, 6, 6, 6}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4,
4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3,
4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3,
3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,
2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6}, {1, 1,
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6,
6}};

Filter using the appropriate pattern

Cases[x, p : {1, 1, (1) .., 2, 2, (2) .., 3, 3, (3) .., 4, 4, (4)
..., 5, 5, (5) .., 6, 6, (6) ..}]

A shorter version of the same thing.

Cases[x, p : Flatten[Table[{i, i, (i) ..}, {i, 6}]]]
