Galen Hall
Galen Hall

The flop was down {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts} and with 14,000 in the pot, the player in the big blind bet 6,200.

Galen Hall had a decision to make from the button and raised to 21,000 after a minutes thought.

Hall's opponent was sat with 65,000 behind and went into the tank, but after 60-seconds passed, he folded.

Hall, who last year came through an 8,598 entrants field to win the $888 No Limit Hold'em - Crazy Eights, moved up to 100,000.

Elias Scores a Knockout

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Darren Elias
Darren Elias

The flop was down {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and Darren Elias bet 6,000 from the small blind before he saw his opponent move all in for close to 20,000 from the button.

Elias snap-called and turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for top pair, which was ahead of his opponent's {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The turn {k-Diamonds} improved Elias' holding to two pair and the {k-Clubs} on the river gave him a full house for good measure.

Danny Noam opened the action on the 5-handed table with a raise to 700 from the hijack. Juan Pardo sat in the cutoff and he raised to 2,500. Big blind Martin Jacobson called and so did Noam.

The flop fell {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} and all three players check it through. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Jacobson led out with a bet of 2,600. Noam raised to 7,600 and Pardo got out of the way after three-betting preflop.

The {3-Clubs} river completed the board and both Jacobson and Noam quickly checked. Jacobson showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and he took the pot down with top pair.
