Tyler Boyer

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded to Michael Moncek on the button with Q♠Q♣, and he raised to 60,000. He was called by Phil Ivey in the big blind with Q♥4♠.

After the 9♥6♠4♥ flop, Ivey check-called a bet of 55,000.

The turn brought the 3♦ and Ivey again check-called a bet from Moncek, this time for 130,000.

After the 6♥ on the river, Ivey checked to Moncek who bet to put Ivey all in for his stack of 255,000. After using multiple time banks, Ivey elected to make the call. He was shown the pocket queens of Moncek and Ivey was sent to the rail early on Day 2.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ben Heath opened in middle position and Isaac Haxton called in the cutoff before Monika Zukowicz three-bet jammed a stack of about 505,000 in the small blind.

Aleksejs Ponakovs then four-bet shoved a stack of around 1,600,000 in the big blind. Heath folded and Haxton used a time extension before folding.

Monika Zukowicz: 8♣8♦ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠K♥

"I almost want to close my eyes," Zukowicz said as she flipped in the biggest spot of her career. Unfortunately for the streamer, the flop landed K♦3♣7♦ to give Ponakovs a big lead as the board finished out A♥3♦ to mark Zukowicz' elimination.

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Addamo raised all in from under the gun for 195,000. It folded to the big blind Kannapong Thanarattrakul who called to put Addamo at risk.

Michael Addamo: A♣6♠ All in
Kannapong Thanarattrakul: K♥6♥

Addamo was in a great spot to double up having Thanarattrakul dominated. Once the board ran out 5♠Q♦10♥3♦2♣ the ace high of Addamo was still best, giving him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kannapong Thanarattrakul	2,500,000 1,125,000	1,125,000

Michael Addamo	435,000 865,000	865,000

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised from early position to 60,000 with A♥Q♠, which was called by Patrik Antonius in the cutoff with K♣J♥.

After the Q♣7♠10♠ flop, Foxen, who flopped top pair, bet out 120,000, which Antonius called with his open-ended straight draw.

The turn brought the 6♣ and Antonius again called a bet from Foxen, this time for 305,000.

After the 3♣ hit the river, Foxen bet out 665,000 and having bricked out, Antonius mucked his hand to give Foxen the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Winter in the small blind, who raised to 150,000 with J♦7♣, and Orpen Kisacikoglu made the call in the big blind with K♦10♥, leaving just 5,000 chips behind.

Both players checked to showdown after the board ran out Q♦5♥2♥6♣5♦ and Kisacikoglu was delighted to see his king-high was best to double up.

Sean Winter	1,100,000
Orpen Kisacikoglu	325,000 175,000	175,000

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Poker's favorite vlogger is no more. Kayhan Mokri opened to 65,000 in middle position and there was a call in between before Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 225,000 in the big blind.

Mokri four-bet all in and Negreanu pulled out his selfie stick before announcing "Sometimes you gotta gamble," and calling.

Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♣ All in
Kayhan Mokri: K♠K♦

Negreanu was drawing to just an ace and a tablemate told him one of his outs was dead. The board then ran out 4♠10♣5♦7♦J♠ to end the Poker Hall of Famer's run at an eighth bracelet.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kayhan Mokri	2,500,000 995,000	995,000

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised all in for 310,000, which was called by Alex Foxen in the hijack with K♠Q♣, before Danny Tang three-bet all in for 820,000. Once it folded back to Foxen, he got out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Kisacikoglu at risk.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: 3♠3♦ All in
Danny Tang: 10♠10♦

Kisacikoglu was crushed by the bigger pocket pair of Tang, and once the board ran out 7♣5♦A♥6♦9♦ the pocket tens of Tang remained best, giving him the pot and knocking out Kisacikoglu.
