Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Noel Jaber opened to 1,200 and got calls from Angelo Schicchitano and Greg Davison before Ian Hickey three-bet to 6,500. Jaber folded and Schicchitano called.

"Almost valued me in here," mused Davison before ultimately folding.

The flop came Q♠6♥3♣ and Schicchitano check-called 7,000.

The turn was the 8♥. Schicchitano checked again and Hickey moved all in for 32,100. Schicchitano instantly asked for a count and eventually slid his chips forward.

Ian Hickey: A♣10♣ All in
Angelo Schicchitano: Q♥9♥

Hickey was down to three outs to save his skin, but the river 4♣ bricked to send him to the rail.

Josh Duce opened to 1,000. Rehman Kassam tried to three-bet, but it was ruled a call. David Sebesfi and Daniel Embleton came along from the blinds.

"Put out nine-seven-seven dealer," asked Kassam as the flop came Q♦10♦2♦. It checked to Kassam who bet 1,200. Both Duce and Embleton called.

"I need the blackest of black," said Kassam as the turn brought the 5♦ and each player checked. The river was the K♥. It checked to Kassam.

"I don't have a flush, but that probably means you don't have a flush, therefore..." he said before moving all in for 15,000. Both players folded and Kassam took down the pot.

Yuanting Wang made a strong start to Day 1f and has made a similarly good start to Day 1g, getting aces in against kings on his very first hand.

Meanwhile, after Amir Farazmand and Chris Zenonos checked the Q♦10♣9♠5♣ turn, Farazmand shoved for 7,500 into 10,000 on the 7♦ river.

Zenonos thought before calling. "I have a ten," said Farazmand.

"With what?" asked Zenonos as his opponent turned over 10♠6♦

Zenonos revealed J♣10♥, outkicking his opponent and sending him to the rail.

Action was on a river with 34,000 in the middle on a board of A♥9♣4♦Q♦6♦

Robert Kwan had shoved all in for around the same amount with Amador Bermejo pondering his decision.

"First hand all in?" Bermejo asked his opponent.

Eventually, the clock was called on Bermejo by Jai Duffy, to the bemusement of some players who considered it too soon.

"Doesn't it have to be 10% of the blind level?" asked Damien Stanley, with Bermejo also surprised at the decision.

The floor was called but Bermejo wasn't put on the clock just yet.

"You're telling me you have nines or fours," Bermejo said aloud to Kwan. "Or ace-queen?"

The tournament director eventually put Bermejo on the clock, with Bermejo open-folding the A♠ as the clock counted down.

Kiavash Arbabi raised to 500 and got calls from Robert Liu and Josh Duce in the blinds.
