Lydon continued for 3,500 on 6♦4♦10♥ and only the middle position player called.

The turn 3♦ peeled off and Lydon checked over to his opponent who fired 9,000. Lydon called.

Middle position moved all in for 26,500 on the 9♣ river and Lydon stuck in a chip for a call. His opponent showed A♦Q♣ for just Ace-high. Lydon flipped over J♣J♠ for the winner.

Tyler Boyer

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded to John Machen in the cutoff, and he raised to 1,600. He was called by Joseph Cutler in the small blind, and Nicholas Logue in the big blind.

The flop came A♠10♥7♥ and it checked to Machen, who went all in for 10,100. Cutler folded, and Logue called to put Machen at risk.

John Machen: K♥2♥ All in
Nicholas Logue: Q♥10♣

Logue made a tough call and was ahead with his pair of tens versus the flush draw of Machen. The 2♦ on the turn gave Machen more outs, but the J♦ on the river meant Logue's pair of tens were still best, and Machen was eliminated.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nicholas Logue	83,000 8,200	8,200

Joseph Cutler	31,700 5,000	5,000
John Machen	Busted
