Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jehan Richards had started well and increased the stack by fifty percent but things have taken a toll since. The latest big pot he lost was in a duel button versus "Leon G" in the big blind.
Leon G flopped top pair and no kicker with the Q♦2♣ and stuck around on a Q♠10♣8♠6♥10♦ board. Richards only held K♠6♠ for inferior two pair and a busted flush draw to drop below half the starting stack.

There was an all-in and call over on table three and a quick look revealed why it was such an obvious clash as Shannon Elizabeth and Amstel both had flopped a set on Q♣10♦8♠.
Shannon Elizabeth: Q♠Q♥ 
Amstel: 10♥10♠
The 2♦ turn and J♠ river were no threat and Elizabeth doubled, she now has more chips than she bagged on Day 1a. Nic Ioannoy mentioned he folded Q♦9♦ and would have rivered the best hand.

Three ways to the J♣4♦2♣ flop, Nahum Lim folded when Paul Mantzios bet 3,700. Stephen Courtney check-called from under the gun and they checked the 6♣ on the turn. Courtney bet the 8♦ river for 8,500 and Mantzios called.
"Ace high," Courtney declared and Mantzios tabled the A♠J♦ for the winner, as Mantzios exposed his A♣ for the nut flush blocker.

The cards were already on their backs and Merwan Corront instantly headed to the cashier to purchase a re-entry as he had just been eliminated by Alexi Aledandrou. On a board of J♦10♥8♦A♦9♥, the A♠7♠ of the French player for the bottom end of the straight were no good as Alexandrou had the Q♦8♣ for the queen-high straight when Corront got it in for 26,000.

On the tail end of a Q♥8♣4♠7♠Q♦ board, Greg Tucker moved all-in for 23,400 in the small blind for essentially the size of the pot. David Ng in late position went into the tank and eventually called.
Tucker tabled his Q♣8♦ for the nuts and Ng's Q♠J♦ were briefly exposed.
"Ah, so you did have queen-jack," Tucker remarked before raking in the double.
Known for his alias of "Tucker Time" from online poker back in the days, the local player is back on track on the second bullet for the day.

With around 20,000 in the middle to the 10♣5♦3♠A♥2♥ river, Nic Ioannoy pushed all-in for 44,200. Keegan Pillay one seat over on the other side of the table went into the tank and asked for an exact count. One time bank later, he folded and asked Ioannoy to show.
Ioannoy granted the request and first flashed the 2♦ followed by the 4♦. Pillay grinned "I am such a pussy" and exposed his K♥K♦ for a pair of kings.

Three ways to the K♠Q♣J♥J♠ turn, the small blind led for 2,100 and Moon Khan called, David Ng opted to fold. The small blind checked the 6♥ river and Khan bet 3,000 to earn a reluctant call.
Khan's K♥10♦ had to settle for a chop versus K♦6♣ but he is up for the day thus far.
