Josh Noy

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Brian Battistone limped in middle position, with Matthew Beinner calling on the button. Marco Johnson made the call in the small blind and Edward Jackson Spivack checked his big blind option.

All four players checked through the 8♥K♥7♠ flop before Johnson led out for 120,000 on the 9♥ turn. Only Battistone called and the 2♣ river hit the table.

Another pair of checks led to showdown. Johnson tabled A♥9♣6♣5♠5♣, while Battistone showed A♦J♠10♠5♥2♥ for the same low with a flush to take three-quarters.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Matthew Woodward raised to 75,000 in the hijack and Arthur Morris three-bet to 270,000 in the cutoff. Woodward then moved all in and Morris called for 300,000 more.

Arthur Morris: A♥K♣9♠7♥2♠ All in
Matthew Woodward: A♠A♦9♦7♦3♦

Morris needed to improve against Woodward's aces to stay alive, but the J♥6♣2♣10♦4♥ board only gave Woodward a low to scoop the pot and send Morris to the rail in 20th place.

"Keep pushing," Tomasz Gluszko told Morris as Morris received a round of high-fives from the table before making his exit.

Edward Jackson Spivack opened to 80,000 in the cutoff and Jeff Madsen called on the button. Erik Seidel made the call in the big blind and the 9♥6♠2♥ flop was fanned out.

Seidel checked to Spivack, who bet the pot of 225,000. Madsen took a moment before moving all in, with Seidel folding and Spivack making the quick call.

Jeff Madsen: A♣Q♣5♦4♦3♦ All in
Edward Jackson Spivack: A♦10♠8♣6♥3♠

Madsen missed his straight and nut low draws on the J♦ turn and 6♦ river, ending his run in 19th position as Spivack improved to trip sixes.

Ben Yu: A♥K♣7♥3♥2♣ All in
Christopher Demaci: A♠K♠J♥J♣5♠

The board ran out J♠8♣9♠2♠8♥. Demaci was good at showdown with the nut-flush to eliminate Yu and claim the last of his chips.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dylan Wilkerson raised to 85,000 on the button and Tomasz Gluszko potted to 270,000 in the big blind. Wilkerson called and they went heads-up to the 7♣8♥2♣ flop.

Gluszko then potted again, making it 585,000, and Wilkerson moved all in. Gluszko quickly called for 900,000 total.

Tomasz Gluszko: A♦K♦K♥3♥3♠ All in
Dylan Wilkerson: A♠8♣4♣3♦2♦

Wilkerson had flopped two pair against Gluszko's kings, while both players had the same low. The board ran out Q♣5♥ and Wilkerson took the high pot, while they chopped up the low.

"I'm happy I'm still in," Gluszko said.

"Happy to get a quarter with the nut low?" Matthew Woodward added.
