Nobles Nullified as Maloney Calls With Baloney

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After Cliff Maloney had made it about 8,000 preflop in the cutoff, Robert Nobles slammed in his stack of 42,800 from the button. Maloney made a quick call, covering his opponent by 5,000 or so.

Robert Nobles: KK All in
Cliff Maloney: 97

Nobles flopped top set on K46, but the 2 turn made Maloney a flush for a big lead. The 8 river did not pair the board, setting Nobles' elimination in stone.

Maloney, meanwhile, slammed the table in celebration as the large pot elevated his stack to nearly six figures.

Rivered Boat Not Enough For Tubaugh Against Melius

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Brian Tubaugh bet 8,000 from the big blind on a board of QJK8 before Barth Melius raised enough in early position to put Tubaugh all in. Tubaugh tanked for a few minutes before calling for his last 20,000.

Tubaugh showed K8 for two pair, but Melius had QQ for a set. Several players at the table reacted when the 8 came on the river to give Tubaugh a full house, but Melius had improved to queens and eights to win the pot.

"I needed the king only. Good game, guys," Tubaugh said on his way to the rail.

Ethan "Rampage" Yau and 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson were also recently eliminated.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Simeon Spasov
Simeon Spasov

Simeon Spasov checked the 39Q10 flop from the big blind to Tobey Faugno under the gun, who added 2,000 to the pot of 5,200.

Spasov called to the 5 river, where he checked again. Faugno bet 5,000, and Spasov called off after some thought. Faugno showed KQ for top pair, and Spasov nodded his head as he sent his cards to the muck.

Spasov was left with two big blinds, which he lost a couple of hands later.

Stephen Kehoe: A8

Both players had the same hand, so they quickly took their chips back on a board of 10K72Q.
