Josh Noy

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sergei Gurin opened to 10,000 in middle position, and Jonathan Little defended his big blind to see the 8♥K♥10♥ flop.

Little led out for 30,000, and Gurin made the call. Little then checked the J♠ turn, where Gurin counted out a bet of 80,000. Little called, and the 9♥ river hit the felt.

Another check from Little was met with a bet of 235,000 from Gurin. Little quickly tossed his cards to the dealer, and Gurin raked in the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Romain Morvan opened to 10,000 in the hijack, and Alex Livingston three-bet to 30,000 in the cutoff. Morvan four-bet to 100,000, and Livingston called.

Morvan bet 105,000 on the flop of 5♣3♥5♦, and Livingston called. Morvan bet again on the 3♠ turn, and Livingston called.

Morvan unloaded the clip by moving all in on the 7♥ river, and Livingston quickly called. Morvan showed QxQx, but he couldn't compete with the two-time bracelet winner's A♣A♥ and was sent to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dmitry Lukyanov opened to 8,000 in the cutoff, and Thomas Taylor called on the button. Bogdan Jontulovic came along in the big blind, checking on the 6♥10♣9♠ flop.

Lukyanov checked to Taylor, who fired a bet of 12,000. Jontulovic folded, while Lukyanov made the call. Both players then checked through the J♣ turn.

Lukyanov led out for 35,000 on the 9♦ river, and Taylor took a moment before raising to 105,000.

After using a time bank card, Lukyanov made the call. Taylor turned over A♦9♥ for trip nines, but Lukyanov showed 6♠6♦ for a full house to claim the pot.
