Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Bryce Yockey and Ayaz Mahmood were heads-up in a pot with the flop reading 10♣4♥3♥. Yockey led out with a bet of 50,000 from the small blind and Mahmood raised to 150,000 in the cutoff. Yockey three-bet shoved all in for 476,000 and Mahmood quickly called.

Bryce Yockey: A♣10♥ All in
Ayaz Mahmood: K♥10♠

Yockey held the better kicker in what turned into a chip-leading pot late on Day 1. The J♣ hit the turn and the A♠ on the river to give Yockey two pair and a double up.

One hand later, Mahmood got the last of his chips in the middle with pocket tens but ran into the ace-jack of Sam Soverel. An ace on the turn locked up the pot for Soverel and Mahmood went from riches to rags.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Chino Rheem and John Pannucci were heads-up in a pot with around 60,000 in the middle and a flop of 8♣7♦5♣. After a bet and a couple of raises, the two players had all of their chips in the middle with Rheem at risk for around 240,000.

Chino Rheem: Q♠Q♥ All in
John Pannucci: A♣A♦

Rheem needed to find a queen but was unable to do so on the 7♠, 9♣ runout which led to his elimination.

Next door, Noah Schwartz four-bet shoved all in for around 85,000 and was called by Shannon Shorr on his left. Schwartz held K♥Q♥ but was up against the A♣J♣ of Shorr.

The board ran out J♠9♠7♣5♣4♥ to give Shorr a pair of jacks and eliminate Schwartz.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

No-Limit Holdem

The action folded to John Pannucci on the button who made it 9,000. Next to act, Mitchell Hynam went all-in for 35,000. Joao Simao called from the big blind, and John Pannucci went all-in to put Simao's ~115,000 at risk. Simao made the call and they were off to see five.

Mitchell Hynam: K♣10♦ All in
Joao Simao: A♥Q♥ All in
John Pannucci: A♣Q♠

The flop of A♠4♣2♣ was a good one for both players holding ace-queen, but the J♣ made things scary for Simao. The 7♣ peeled off on the river which was music to Pannucci's ears, as he sent two to the rail and chips up close to half a million.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 8,500 in early position and Noel Rodriguez three-bet to 29,500 from middle position. Zhargal Tsydypov flat-called in the big blind and Mustafov came along as well.

The flop fell 5♥5♦2♣ and the action checked to Rodriguez who shoved all in for 22,500. Tsydypov quickly folded but Mustafov called just as fast and tabled A♣K♠5♠4♥. Rodriguez was left with just naked kings and could not improve on the 7♥, 7♠ runout.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Seth Davies opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Dylan Weisman reraised to 16,500 on the button. Davies called and they went heads-up to a flop of J♥10♣6♣. Davies checked to Weisman who bet 20,000 and Davies called.

The turn was the 7♦ and Davies checked again. Weisman splashed in a chunk of chips to put Davies to the test for his remaining 90,000 chips. Davies thought about it and then called, showing K♠J♠. However, Weisman tabled A♣J♦ for a better kicker and the 7♣ was no help to Davies on the river.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jonathan Azoulay raised it up in middle position and Philip Sternheimer three-bet from the blinds. Azoulay called which created a pot of around 70,000 going to the flop of 10♠6♠3♥. Both players checked and the K♦ rolled off on the turn.

The two players quickly got all of their chips in the middle with Azoulay being at risk for just shy of 100,000. Sternheimer rolled over A♣Q♦J♣7♦ for a wrap while Azoulay held K♥K♣8♠5♣ for a set of kings.

The dealer burned and turned the Q♣ on the river to give Sternheimer a straight and eliminate Azoulay.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

No Limit Holdem

Nick Schulman raised to 5,000 from the hijack, and when action folded to Dario Alioto, he moved all-in for 44,500. Shaun Deeb elected to call the 44,500 chip bet, but once Nick Schulman moved all-in for 150,000 effective, Deeb released his hand.

Dario Alioto: 7♣7♠ All in
Nick Schulman: J♣J♥

The runout came K♦J♦6♦7♥9♥ which was enough for Schulman to build his stack toward the 400,000 mark, and bust Alioto.

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

No Limit Holdem

The action was picked up on the flop with 30,000 in the middle as Toby Joyce faced an 8,500 chip bet from Noah Boeken who was sitting in the hijack on J♦9♥7♦.

Joyce, from middle position, elected to check-raise to the price of 25,000. Boeken went all-in for ~35,000 more, Joyce beat him into the middle, and they were off to see a runout.

Noah Boeken: Q♦Q♠
Toby Joyce: 7♥7♣

Boeken, unable to improve, was headed to the rail during the early stages of level six.
