Christopher Bell: A♥Q♣

The board ran out A♣6♣K♥4♣5♥ and the ace on the flop was good to hold up for Bell while the poker vlogger was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yakov Albaz raised to 4,000 from early position and was called by Alcides Gomez on the button, Justin Goldman in the small blind, and Jason Cajigas in the big blind.

The flop came A♥K♦K♣ and all players checked to see the 5♠ come on the turn. Action checked to Albaz, who bet out for 3,000. Gomez folded, and both Goldman and Cajigas called.

The river brought the 9♦. Goldman checked, and Cajigas bet out for 15,000. Albaz raised to 30,000, Goldman folded, and Cajigas went into the tank. He eventually called and Albaz tabled A♣K♥ for a flopped full house, and Cajigas tossed his cards into the muck and left himself with a little more than a bowl of rice to play with.

Macdonald Runs Down Hall

Laura Fryer

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tom MacDonald opened from late position to 3,000 and action folded around to Zachary Hall in the big blind who three-bet to 12,500. MacDonald four-bet to 27,000 and Hall five-bet jammed for around 170,000, covering MacDonald's remaining 105,000 stack.

MacDonald snap called and showed pocket aces. Hall showed his kings and the players went to the board.

Tom MacDonald: A♥A♦ All in
Zachary Hall: K♠K♣

The rainbow J♠J♥3♣ didn't give Hall much to work with, and there was no change on the 8♠ turn and 5♥ river. MacDonald held to secure his double up, leaving Hall to take a tumble.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joshua Bobrosky from the button and William Phillips in the big blind were all in preflop.

William Phillips: 9♦9♠ All in
Joshua Bobrosky: K♣J♦

Bobrosky failed to connect with the runout of 2♦7♦8♣5♣A♠ and took a huge hit. He was left with just one 5,000 chip.

His chip and a chair didn't last long. He went all in with a three bet on the next hand from the cutoff.

Felipe Olivieri called before Vinh Nguyen raised the pot to 13,000. Olivieri made the call for a side pot.

Nguyen and Oliveiri checked down the action to the river.

Olivieri had only queen high Q♣8♣. Bobrosky showed 5♥5♦. Nguyen scooped the pots with 7♥7♠.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three-ways to the A♠8♣4♠ flop, Ryuichiro Yamakawa led for 7,000 from the hijack, Joseph Volz folded in the cutoff, and Jorge Ribeiro called on the button.

On the 10♠ turn, Yamakawa slowed with a check before Ribeiro fired out a bet of 16,000, and Yamakawa quickly called.

Yamakawa checked once more on the 2♣ river before Ribeiro sized up to 41,000. Yamakawa would think it over for around 30 seconds before he cut out calling chips and placed them into the middle. He got the bad news immediately as Ribeiro tabled Q♠J♠ for the second nut flush as he scooped up a substantial pot to cross 200,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryuichiro Yamakawa	255,000 154,200	154,200

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Marty Mathis was down to his last 500 chips and was forced all in from the small blind. Arthur Peacock raised from middle position and everyone else folded. Mathis turned over 10♠9♣ and was up against the 6♥6♦ of Peacock. A ten on the turn was good enough for Mathis who eventually made a straight on the river to claim the pot.

On the next hand, Peacock made it 3,000 again and Mathis stuck in his stack of 3,000 chips on the button. The rest of the table folded once again.

Marty Mathis: A♣7♠ All in
Arthur Peacock: A♥5♥

The board ran out A♦10♥4♦2♠10♦ and Mathis held the better kicker for another double up to 10,000 chips.

"Ok, let's slow our roll," Mathis said as he took one hand off.

However, following that he was all in again for 10,000 in middle position. Peacock was in the big blind and took a moment to call after some speech play back and forth.

Marty Mathis: A♠4♦ All in
Arthur Peacock: 8♠7♥

The flop came A♥K♦2♥ and Mathis took another big lead with a pair of aces. The 6♦ on the turn left Peacock drawing dead to the Q♠ on the river.

Nick Guagenti was down to 22,000, which he got in preflop against Nicholas Schultz.

Nick Guagenti: A♣K♦ All in
Nicholas Schultz: J♠J♦

Guagenti found an ace on the A♠2♣6♠ flop, and made trips on the A♦ turn. The 4♠ river was of no use to Schultz, who was left with about ten big blinds.

Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Craig Bateman started the action with a raise to 3,000 from middle position. Play then folded around to Carlos Lucero in the small blind, who put in a three-bet to 10,000. When the action returned to Bateman, he took a moment or two before moving all in for 42,000.

Lucero didn't seem to like the situation he had found himself in. He took stock of his stack, reconfirmed the count of the all-in stack, before taking some more time to decide. After a couple of minutes, he made the call and received instant bad news.

Craig Bateman: A♠A♥ All in
Carlos Lucero: A♣Q♣

There was no help to be found for Lucero as the dealer delivered a 2♥9♠3♦5♠8♣ board to the felt, any Bateman was duly paid his double-up.
