Joyce Continues His Ascent

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Toby Joyce
Toby Joyce

Toby Joyce is storming up the counts after just taking down another chunky pot and is well over two-million chips now!

The action was picked up on the 8♦10♥Q♠3♥ board where Joyce checked from the small blind and Steven Zhou fired 125,000 out of the big blind. Chao Duan folded, and Joyce called.

A 4♥ on the river drew a check out of Joyce, then Zhou went small with a bet of 100,000. Joyce took some time and then counted out a raise of 410,000 before putting it over the betting line. Zhou called in a flash.

Joyce then revealed a flush with K♥8♥, and Zhou's hand went into the muck.

Peter Stott shoved for a bit over 400,000 on the button and just behind him, Yuanting Wang also went all in from the small blind to put Stott at risk.

Peter Stott: J♦9♦All in
Yuanting Wang: A♥K♦

The K♣7♠8♠ flop left Stott drawing slim, but the 10♥ turn immediately improved him to an unbeatable straight as the table let out a collective "Ooooh!"

An irrelevant A♠ filled the river and Stott was awarded the double up.

Joyce Finishes Off Bono

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ricardo Bono was forced all in from the big blind after having lost the majority of his stack not so long ago. Toby Joyce was the player looking for the KO.

Ricardo Bono: 8♦2♥ All in
Toby Joyce: A♥7♣

Bono couldn't improve as the J♠5♠6♣10♠A♣ runout saw Joyce river an ace, meaning Bono's Main Event came to an end.

Kahle Burns opened to 50,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 115,000 by Toby Joyce in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Burns, who called.

Burns then check-called a 60,000 bet from Joyce on the 6♥5♥7♠ flop before leading out for 60,000 himself on the 9♥ turn. Joyce called.

The [4d completed the board and Burns sized down for a 50,000 bet. Joyce tanked for a few minutes before opting to lay his hand down.

"It would have been an ambitious bluff," Joyce said to Kahle.

Joyce Doubles Through Murray

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Toby Joyce was already all in on the button against Liam Murray, who was in early position, on a flop of 6♣4♣9♦ and cards were turned face up.

Toby Joyce: K♥K♣All in
Liam Murray: 9♣8♣

It was a near coin flip for Joyce, who would need to fade flush and pair outs to double up and keep his Main Event going.

The K♠ turn provided some relief as it improved Joyce to a set, and the A♥ river changed nothing to award Joyce the double up.

Bhatt Getting Bullied

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

It wasn't a great restart after dinner for Pranav Bhatt as he got three-bet three hands in a row!

In the third hand, Bhatt opened the hijack to 50,000 and Yuanting Wang three-bet to 155,000. Bhatt called.

The flop came 9♣7♣10♥ and a continuation-bet of 180,000 from Wang got the job done as Bhatt laid it down.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kiavash Arbabi made it 40,000 to go from middle position and Ken Demlakian three-bet to 85,000 from the cutoff. It got back to Arbabi and he called.

The flop came K♥Q♦5♣ and Arbabi check-called a bet of 45,000 from Demlakian to the 10♥ turn, where both checked.

A 3♦ hit the river and after Arbabi checked, Demlakian fired out 135,000. Arbabi went into the tank for a while but eventually decided to fold, allowing Demlakian's stack to climb back to around a million.
