Bernard Beh has just picked up quite a handy pot. It started with a player opening to 800 from under the gun. Beh was the lone called from the hijack and with that, the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Beh called a bet of 1,200 here and then called a bet of 2,200 on the 
turn. When the board completed with a 
on the river, Beh’s opponent checked and Beh bet 3,775. The player folded and the chips went to Beh.
Beh has more than $300,000 in tournament results on his resume, with many of those coming here in Perth. His largest result in Perth was when he won the $4,000 High Roller side event at the 2012 ANZPT Perth. He took home $48,000.

Victor Teng opened it up to 900 from early position and the player two spots to his left moved all in for 1,450. Levy flat-called and the big blind also made the call. Teng called and one player watched on as he was looking to more than quadruple up.
The 
flop would see the three active players check, while the 
turn would see the big blind lead for 1,200. Teng folded, while Levy raised it up to 3,700. The player tank-called and a 
completed the board on the river. This time when it was checked to Levy, he bet 5,100. The player called and Levy tabled 
. The all-in player mucked his cards and left the tournament area, while the Levy’s active opponent mucked his cards.
“Title this hand, “Thin Value”, Levy told us as he scooped the pot.

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang has just wondered over to the media desk and said, “Gee-Gee.”
Unfortunately that clearly wasn’t good news.
Huang told us that his final hand began when a player opened the button to 800. The small blind flat-called and Huang then moved all in for 8,500 from the big blind. The button player re-jammed his big stack and the small blind folded.
Huang was at-risk holding 
and was struggling against the 
of his opponent.
The 
flop gave them both a piece of it, but the turn and river bricked off and Huang was sent home.

Daniel Levy has just rushed over to us and told us about the "nit rolling" he has just partaken in. Long story short, Levy rumbled with one opponent, who over-bet three barreled a queen-high board and at showdown, thought he had the best hand with 
as Levy didn't seem enthusiastic. Levy slowly turned over a queen though and scooped the pot.
Levy is now moving up towards 60,000 in chips - a stack only bettered by Oliver Gill's.
