Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Kevin Nathan

The action was joined with a full board showing 8♣2♣8♦5♣6♣ and slightly over 50,000 already in the pot.

Christopher Morgan had moved all in, covering his opponent's stack of 33,300, and action was on a tortured Kevin Nathan, who was trying to figure it all out.

After a few minutes had passed, Morgan called the clock on Nathan, and the floor staff were duly summoned to uphold the request.

"Clock? Already?" Nathan asked. "It's been three or four minutes now, was Morgan's retort.

Nathan didn't seem to dispute this fact, and the floor staff started the countdown.

As the clock struck zero, Nathan pitched his cards back to the dealer, surrendering the pot to his tablemate.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a board of 5♠Q♦8♠K♦, Tianyi Ma under the gun bet 3,200 and Matthew Schiavo in the big blind raised all-in for 11,300. Ma went deep into the tank, even asking to the dealer how much he had to add to call. After a minute, he decided to call.

Matthew Schiavo: J♣10♥ All in
Tianyi Ma: A♥K♣

Ma called with top pair but Schiavo had a straight. The 10♦ river changed nothing and Schiavo doubled up.

Ren Lin opened to 1,000 from middle position and Carter McMahon defended his big blind.

On the Q♦6♣5♣ flop, McMahon check-called a bet of 1,000 from Lin.

McMahon then led on the repeat 5♦ turn for 4,000 and Lin stuck around with a call.

On the 6♦ river, McMahon fired again for 10,000, sending Lin into the tank. After a little over a minute, Lin would compliment his opponent on a nice hand as he flicked in calling chips. McMahon tabled 4♦2♦ for a rivered flush which was good as Lin flinged his cards into the muck.

This table has been selected for the main feature table for the PokerGO stream, where they will be moving on the break. Brian Hastings is also sat at the table with a healthy stack.

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 Q♦J♠K♥8♥ 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 K♠8♦ for two pair, but Melius had Q♥Q♠ 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.

Oddgeir Torekaasa opened to 1,200 in early position, and Patrick McKelvey three-bet to 3,000 on his left. Thomas Stocker made the call on the button before Torekaasa four-bet to 8,000.

McKelvey and Stocker both called and checked the 5♥7♣2♠ flop. Torekaasa continued with a bet of 8,000, good enough to take down the pot as both opponents folded.

Griff Under Pressure

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up flop of A♦K♠J♠, Jordan Griff check-called for 2,000 against Devin Horvath and did so again for 3,000 on the 2♣ turn. They checked the A♦ on the river and a seemingly annoyed Griff tabled the A♣7♣ for trips aces. Since being a big stack during the previous break, Griff's stack had tumbled below half of the starting stack.

Simeon Spasov checked the 3♣9♦Q♦10♣ 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 K♥Q♥ 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.

Randolph Sells opened from under the gun to 1,200 and Jon Orlando raised to 2,500 from middle position. Christopher Lewis called from the hijack and Grigorios Bellos called from the cutoff. Jerome Youngbar re-raised to 5,500 in the small blind and only Sells folded.

The Q♣3♥K♦ flop was bet by Youngbar to 3,000 and Orlando called. Lewis raised to 8,500 and only Orlando called, leaving the players to go heads-up.

The J♣ was turned and players checked to the 4♦ river.

Orlando bet out 13,000 and he took the pot after showing K♥Q♥ as Youngbar mucked.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Chet Sickle raised to 1,100 in middle position, finding calls from John Connors on his left and Oren Haziza on the button. Nicholas Kallenbach also came along in the big blind, and the 8♥6♦J♥ flop hit the felt.

Kallenbach checked to Sickle, who continued with a bet of 1,200. Only Haziza called to see the 8♣ turn, and Sickle fired again for 2,500.

This time, Haziza let his hand go, leaving Sickle to drag in the chips.
