Bryan Huang Exits

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The action started with the player in middle position raising to 725 and getting called by the player to his left. The decision then fell on Bryan Huang in the small blind who moved all in for his remaining 4,000 in chips which forced the original raiser out. The other player called and both sets of cards were exposed.

Huang: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Huang stood up from his chair after spotting he was behind, but sat back down, when the flop dropped {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. But it was short-lived, as the {8-Hearts} spiked on the turn, to see his opponent regain the lead.

The {q-Spades} completed the board to see the PokerStars Team Pro sent to the rail.

Ken Demlakian Eliminated

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 800 and was called by the button and small blind as well as Ken Demlakian on the big blind.

All four players checked the {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop before the {8-Clubs} dropped on the turn. The small blind checked prompting Demlakian to move all in for his remaining 3,200 in chips. The action folded back around to the small blind who asked for a count before making the call.

Demlakian: {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Demlakian was behind with the lower pair and would find no help from the {2-Hearts} on the river to see his day end just short of the second break.

Enter Danny Boxell

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Danny Boxell, son of Australian Poker Hall of Famer Leo Boxell, has been spotted in today's field.

Leo was kind enough to fill us in on how his son has built his stack to 70,000 in chips.

On a nine high flop Danny bet out holding {k-}{9-} in his hand. He had two callers before a third player went all in for around 20,000 in chips. Danny was the only player to call and was up against two over cards and a flush draw.

No help came and Danny raked in the giant pot to see him rise to one of the biggest stacks so far.

Bryan Huang Flushed

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The action started with PokerStars Team Pro Bryan Huang raising to 600 from the button and getting called by both players in the blinds.

Both blinds then checked the {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop prompting Huang to throw out a continuation bet worth 1,200. The small blind instantly mucked before the big blind called.

A pair of checks followed the {2-Clubs} falling on the turn before the {7-Spades} completed the board. This time the big blind reached for his chips and tossed out 2,000 in chips.

Huang looked down at his cards and made the call, before mucking his hand, when his opponent tabled {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a flush.
