Tyler Boyer

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Once it folded to Michael Moncek in the cutoff, he raised to 125,000 with 9♥8♥. Phillip Nagy on the button three-bet to 300,000. After the small blind folded, Isaac Haxton four-bet all in for his stack of 750,000, which Nagy called.

Isaac Haxton: A♥K♥ All in
Phillip Nagy: 10♠10♥

Haxton needed to win the flip to stay in the tournament, but once the board ran out 7♠5♠3♦4♣9♦ the pocket tens of Nagy were still best, eliminating Haxton.

Stephen Chidwick raised to 120,000 from under the gun with A♠4♠, which was called by Phillip Nagy in the cutoff, and Jared Bleznick on the button.

After the 4♣2♥7♦ flop, Chidwick checked to Nagy who bet out 200,000. Then Bleznick raised all in for his stack of 570,000. Chidwick folded, and Nagy made the call to put Bleznick at risk.

Jared Bleznick: 8♠7♠ All in
Phillip Nagy: 10♥10♦

Bleznick flopped top pair, but would need find some help to stay in the tournament. The board ran out 9♥ on the turn and 5♠ on the river and the pocket tens of Nagy remained best, eliminating Bleznick.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened the action with a raise from early position to 120,000. On his direct left, Sam Greenwood three-bet to 330,000. It folded back to Foxen who put in a four-bet to 675,000. Greenwood elected to five-bet all in for his stack of 2,550,000 and Foxen, who had Greenwood slightly covered, snap-called.

Sam Greenwood: A♣K♥ All in
Alex Foxen: A♠A♥

Greenwood ran into the pocket aces of Foxen, but the 2♣J♥Q♥ flop did give Greenwood outs in the form of a Broadway straight draw. However, once the board ran out Q♣ on the turn, and 5♣ on the river, the pocket aces of Foxen were still best, giving Foxen the massive pot, and sending Greenwood to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Yan opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 100,000. It then folded to Michael Moncek in the small blind, and he made the call. Seth Davies in the big blind decided to three-bet all in for his stack of 2,100,000, which got Yan to fold, but Moncek made the call to put Davies at risk.

Seth Davies: 6♠6♦ All in
Michael Moncek: 10♦10♣

Moncek's call in the small blind with his pocket tens set up Davies to jam into the bigger pocket pair. Needing a six, the board ran out 2♣3♦10♠A♣K♣ and it was Moncek who made a set, eliminating Davies, and giving Moncek a massive stack.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Danny Tang in the hijack, and he raised to 80,000. It then folded to the big blind Stephen Chidwick, who three-bet all in for Tang's stack of 955,000, which Tang called.

Danny Tang: A♠Q♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: J♥J♦

It was a race for Tang's tournament life, but the A♦J♣10♣ flop put Chidwick in a dominant position after flopping a set. The A♥ on the turn improved Chidwick to a full house, but did give Tang outs to make a bigger full house. However, the 4♣ on the river was no help to Tang, and Chidwick took the pot and sent Chidwick to the rail with his full house, jacks full of aces.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Juan Pardo opened the action with a raise to 80,000 from the hijack, which was called by Michael Moncek in the cutoff, and the big blind Jared Bleznick.

The flop came 4♦7♦J♥ and after Bleznick checked, Pardo bet out 100,000, before Moncek raised to 375,000. Bleznick got out of the way, and Pardo decided to three-bet to 700,000. Moncek then four-bet all in for Pardo's stack of 2,100,000, and Pardo made the call to put himself at risk.

Juan Pardo: A♠A♣ All in
Michael Moncek: K♦J♦

Moncek flopped top pair and a flush draw, but the pocket aces of Pardo were still in front. That was only momentarily, as the K♥ on the turn put Moncek ahead with two pair. The 2♥ on the river gave Moncek the massive pot with his two pair, successfully cracking the aces of Pardo, and sending him to the rail in brutal fashion.
