Josh Noy

Level 30 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen raised to 3,200,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Mustapha Kanit, who called in the big blind.

Kanit checked the 4♠2♥3♥ flop, calling again after Nguyen continued for 4,400,000. Both players then checked the K♥ turn.

The dealer flipped over the 2♦ river, where Kanit checked one last time. Nguyen used a time bank before sliding out a bet of 7,000,000.

Kanit went deep into the tank, using several time bank cards of his own before tossing in a call.

Nguyen showed 10♣9♣ for a bluff, while Kanit turned over Q♣4♣ for two pair to take down the pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Vadzim Lipauka raised to 3,200,000 from the hijack and Derric Haynie was forced all in for 800,000 in the big blind. The rest of the table stepped aside and the cards were on their backs.

Derric Haynie: J♦7♠ All in
Vadzim Lipauka: K♠10♦

The flop of A♥6♥3♥ left Lipauka in the lead as neither player held a heart in their hand. The 9♥ on the turn brought some potential chop outs but it was the 9♠ on the river that eliminated Haynie in 17th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen raised to 3,200,000 on the button and Sebastian Toro three-bet shoved all in for 50,400,000 in the small blind. Yinan Zhou was in the big blind and used all of his time banks before sticking in his stack of 45,000,000. Nguyen quickly folded and the cards were tabled.

Yinan Zhou: K♠K♥ All in
Sebastian Toro: K♦10♦

"The pay jump," Zhou pointed out after wasting nearly five minutes. The board ran out J♠10♥8♣2♣A♥ and Toro could only muster a pair of tens as Zhou scored a huge double-up, thus leaving Toro on crumbs.

Yinan Zhou	94,800,000 40,200,000	40,200,000

After tangling the previous orbit blind vs blind, Ren Lin limped from the small blind with 10♦2♦ and Marcelo Aziz checked his option with 10♥4♥ in the big blind.

Lin led out for 2,000,000 on the 6♠3♠2♥ flop and Aziz called. The dealer revealed the 9♣ turn and Lin checked.

Aziz checked behind to the Q♠ river and Lin tapped the table again. Aziz took some time before firing a bet of 15,500,000.

"So much," said Lin before laying his hand down and Aziz took down another pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit looked down at A♠10♦ under the gun and opened to 4,000,000. Action folded around to Liv Boeree, who called with Q♠J♣ in the big blind.

Boeree checked the 7♦8♦5♠ flop and Kanit slowed down by checking back. Boeree then led out for 5,500,000 on the 9♦ turn and Kanit took some time before making the call.

The dealer flipped over the 9♣ river, where Boeree sized up to 12,000,000. Kanit went into tank and used a time bank card before sticking in the call.

Boeree showed her bluff, while Kanit earned a big pot with his ace.

"Wow," said Ren Lin.

"Good call," followed Boeree.
