Noor Runs Into Mclaughlin's Aces

Level 18 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Action folded to Michael Noor in the hijack and he moved all-in for 1,515,000. Marc Etienne Mclaughlin was in the cutoff and moved all-in over the top for just barely more.

Noor tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was disappointed to see he was up against the November Niner's {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Mclaughlin flopped top set while Noor made a fairly insignificant pair of sixes. The turn, however, brought some spice with the {8-Hearts} to give Noor both flush and straight draws. The river was the {q-Spades} though and Noor was eliminated.

Level 19 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jason Lavallee
Jason Lavallee

Jason 'ConstantColorUp' Lavallee raised to 450,000 from early position and Kevin Schulz three-bet to 1,200,000 from middle position. Action folded back around to Lavallee and he gave his stack a quick count before four-bet shoving all-in for 3,475,000. Schulz basically beat him in the pot for a quick call.

Lavallee tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, up against Schulz's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for a coin flip.

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Lavallee held to double-up

Phillips Clinches the Chip Lead

Level 19 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Samuel Phillips
Samuel Phillips

Sam Phillips started the day with 6,050,000 and now has more than triple that amount after scooping up a big three-way all-in.

According to Ema Zajmovic, Phillips opened the pot and Mark A flat-called. Brent Wajcman was short-stacked and shoved, prompting Phillips to re-shove. Mark snapped him off and tabled two kings, up against Phillips' ace-queen and Wajcman's ace-ten.

The flop brought three spades, and each of the three players held one. Fortunately for Phillips, he had the ace of spades. The river brought a fourth spade and he doubled through Mark while eliminating Wajcman.

Phillips now sits on just shy of 20 million in chips at the top of the leader board.

Melowsky Triples Up

Level 19 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

A roar echoed across the room originating from the table with Tony Melowsky, Pierre Paul Paulin, and David Ormsby.

The three players were involved in a three-way all-in pot.

Melowsky: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Ormsby: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Paulin: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Laying in front of them was a {4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} board. Ormsby had flopped a set but Melowsky binked top-set on the turn to triple up.

Tessier-Strasbourg Eliminated in a Cooler

Level 19 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

We got to the table as Michael Tessier-Strasbourg was all-in from the small blind and called by Tommy Coulombe in early position. The board read {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} with Tessier-Strasbourg at risk for his last 3,500,000 in chips.

Tessier-Strasbourg tabled {9-Spades}{4-Clubs} for top two pair, but he was drawing fairly thin against Coulombe's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and the river was the {q-Diamonds} to send Tessier-Strasbourg to the rail.
