Josh Noy

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Steven Vun raised to 1,500 in the hijack, and Jimmy Tran called from the small blind. Stewart Ballard defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned out the K♠Q♦5♣ flop.

Tran and Ballard checked to Vun, who continued for another 1,500. Tran let his hand go before Ballard check-raised to 3,500. Vun made the call, and Ballard led out for 5,000 on the 7♣ turn. Vun promptly raised to 10,900, and the call was made.

Ballard checked the 4♣ river, and Vun announced a bet of 18,000. Ballard took some time before sending his cards into the muck, and Vun raked in the pot.

Moloney led out for 3,600, and Youkhanna quickly folded. Andrews took some time before following with a fold, and Moloney claimed the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Jason Lee called a raise to 1,100 and then also called when Michael Sleiman jammed a short stack behind for around 5,500.

Michael Sleiman: 5♥5♦ All in
Jason Lee: A♦J♠

The over cards struck on the 7♥7♣6♠J♦9♣ board to knock out Sleiman.

Prior to the hand, there had been a somewhat heated argument about whether or not stacks needed to be counted if there was an all-in but no call yet including Riff Mustafa. He then requested to have mentioned in the live updates that he was "a legend".

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Following an open raise to 1,000 by Keith Danker Gois, five players behind all called. The J♥8♠4♠ flop saw Danker Gois bet 2,000, Adrian DiGirolamo called and Leo Boxell then called all-in for 1,300 while everyone else got out of the way.

The Q♠ turn was checked to the 8♦ river on which Danker Gois bet 6,000, DiGirolamo folded.

Danker Gois revealed A♠K♠ for the ace-high flush and Boxell's J♦9♦ were no good.

Dean Blatt check-called a bet of 1,100 by Simon Avrutis on the 10♥4♠3♥ flop and the 8♥ turn was checked through to the 2♠ on the river. Blatt now made it 4,000 to go and Avrutis folded.

Despite winning this pot, Blatt has lost a bit from his peak on a new table.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Joe Abdulnour never recovered from the earlier setback and was just spotted on his way out of the tournament area. His cards were already mucked and the chips of Abdulnour were pushed one seat over to Raymond Ou.

On a board of A♥10♥2♥J♠Q♦, Ou's J♥J♦ had turned a set of jacks for the knockout.
