Tyler Boyer

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded Michael Lydon in the cutoff, and he raised to 2,000, and Justin Vaysman in the small blind called.

The flop came K♦6♣Q♣ and Vaysman check-called a bet of 2,000 from Lydon.

The turn brought the 7♥ and Vaysman checked to Lydon, who bet out 7,000. After giving it some thought, Vaysman laid his hand down to give the pot to Lydon.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel DaConti opened to 2,100 from under the gun. Alexander Wiggins called on the button and the big blind defended.

The flop came down Q♦4♠3♦ and DaConti continued for 3,200. Wiggins made the call.

DaConti sized-up to 7,500 on the A♣ turn and Wiggins called once again.

The river 7♦ completed the flush and Wiggins fired 20,000 when checked to. Frustrated with the river, DaConti released his hand back to the dealer and the pot was pushed in Wiggins' direction.

Liptak Keeps Rolling, Eliminates Colin

Tyler Boyer

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked with Daniel Colin all in for 13,500, and Neal Liptak calling to put him at risk.

Daniel Colin: A♥8♣ All in
Neal Liptak: 7♥7♦

It was a flip for Colin's tournament life, and he would need to improve to stay in it. But when the board ran out J♦6♦5♠5♥Q♦ the pocket sevens of Liptak was still best to take the pot and eliminate Colin.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with Kenny Huynh all in for his last 28,000 chips on a 7♥8♠9♥J♦A♦ board with 47,000 chips in the middle. Tim Faro was in the hijack and in the tank contemplating his decision. He ultimately stuck a red chip in the middle, signaling a call, and it was the right one. Huynh showed K♠Q♥ for the bluff and Faro dragged in the pot with A♣8♣.
