Noel Jaber opened the button and Joseph Antar defended his big blind to see a flop of 2♦K♥2♠, where Antar check-called a bet of 150,000 from Jaber.

Antar went into check-call mode again when the 8♦ hit the turn as Jaber fired 175,000, then the 9♣ fell on the river. Both tapped the table and Antar announced "ace-high,", but Jaber held a pair of eights with 8♣5♣ to take the pot and the chip lead.

Weiran Pu limped in from the small blind and Joseph Antar checked from the big blind to see a flop of 2♣3♦6♠, where both checked.

The turn brought a 9♦ and Pu fired 100,000, which Antar called to see the 7♥ river. Again Pu bet, this time for 150,000, and again Antar called.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Weiran Pu raised from the small blind to 150,000 and Joseph Antar made it 350,000 out of the big blind. Pu shoved, and Antar quickly called off his stack of 1,345,000.

Joseph Antar: A♦K♦ All in
Weiran Pu: A♠8♦

Pu had a chance to eliminate another player and bring the Trojan down to heads-up play, but the flop of K♥A♥J♥ wasn't what he was looking for as Antar made top two pair.

A 7♠ on the turn locked up the pot for Antar, and the 10♣ fell on the river, confirming his double-up.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the Main Event after being eliminated with two tables remaining, Noel Jaber said to Kahle Burns, "I'll get you in the high roller,". He just delivered on his promise.

Burns shoved for around 600,000 on the button and Jaber put him at risk from the small blind.

Kahle Burns: K♦8♦ All in
Noel Jaber: A♦10♦

Jaber had the best of it and took a huge leap towards eliminating Burns when the flop came A♣9♦Q♣. Burns was left with no hope when the 9♥ dropped on the turn, and a meaningless J♠ filled out the board.
