Josh Noy

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kiavash Arbabi was all in for his last 335,000 and at risk against Collin Tran.

Kiavash Arbabi: K♦Q♣ All in
Collin Tran: 8♥8♦

Tran's pocket pair was still best after the J♣J♠A♥ flop, but the A♦ put two pair on board to give Arbabi the lead. Tran could not hit the 5♠ river, as Arbabi doubled while leaving Tran with crumbs.

David Hirst

David Hirst in early position and Shane Pearce in the small blind were heads-up to the 9♥4♥2♠ flop. The two players exchanged bets until Pearce's stack was in the middle and at risk.

Shane Pearce: 9♣4♣ All in
David Hirst: K♥K♦

Pearce had flopped two pair to take the lead over Hirst's pocket kings. The 2♦ turn flipped the advantage back to Hirst, making a better two pair. The A♣ river changed nothing, leaving Hirst ahead sending Pearce to the rail.

"Chip leader," said another player at the table as Hirst organized his big stack.

Khanh Le

Action was three-ways to the river of a board showing 8♠K♣A♠9♣2♠ and around 350,000 in the middle.

Minkyu Jun fired 150,000 from the small blind and Michael Sleiman called in the big blind. Khanh Le then raised to 550,000 on the button, sending Jun into the tank.

The clock was eventually called and counted down under five seconds before Jun slid out the call. Sleiman got out of the way and Le turned over 10♠6♠ for a ten-high flush.

"Ah, I almost folded," said Jun as he showed 9♠3♠ for an inferior flush and Le raked in a massive pot.

Paris Sitzoukas was all in and at risk against Slade Fisher, with the cards on their backs.

Paris Sitzoukas: 10♥10♦ All in
Slade Fisher: Q♠Q♣

Sitzoukas was trailing Fisher's queens, but the 6♦8♥7♦ flop brought a straight draw. The 8♦ turn then gave Sitzoukas even more outs with a flush draw.

The 2♦ river left Sitzoukas with a flush, cracking Fisher's queens to double up.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andreas Vasiliou opened to 80,000 in the hijack and was called by Joshua McSwiney on the button. The dealer fanned out the J♣10♣5♦ flop and Vasiliou checked to McSwiney, who fired 55,000.

Vasiliou made the call and checked again on the 7♠ turn. McSwiney took a moment before sliding out a bet of 110,000. Vasiliou then took some time of his own before check-raising to 260,000.

McSwiney opted to fold, and Vasiliou took down a nice pot.

Slade Fisher opened to 50,000 in middle position and Joshua McSwiney made the call on the button. Matt Rolfe came along in the big blind to the 7♦3♣3♦ flop.

Rolfe checked to Fisher, who fired 80,000. McSwiney folded, while Rolfe called to the 2♣ turn. Another check to Fisher resulted in a bet of 140,000, which Rolfe called.

The dealer turned over the 4♦ river and Rolfe checked one last time. Fisher checked back and mucked as Rolfe showed A♦10♦ for a flush to claim a sizeable pot.
