Lev Wins Back-to-Back

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} Karam Bahi bet 900 from middle position and was called by Jun Lin in the cutoff. S. Lev was on the button and raised it up to 3,500. Bahi and Lin called.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and the action checked to Lev who moved all in for 7,275. Bahi mucked before Lin asked for a count. He called and both players tabled their cards.

Lev: {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Lin: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Lev had a straight and dodged the {10-Spades} on the river to see him move up to 26,000.

In the following hand, Bahi raised to 600 from under the gun. Lev raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and Bahi called.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Bahi checked. Lev bet 2,200. Bahi raised to 5,200 before Lev instantly moved all in for around 23,000. Bahi thought for a moment before mucking his hand.

Lev now has 33,000 in chips.

O'Grady Eliminated by Trivedi

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a board of {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} Michael O'Grady bet 3,400 and was called by Muneer Trivedi in middle position.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and O'Grady tossed in his final 7,000 in chips. Trivedi shook his head as he contemplated his decision.

"Probably a stupid call," Trivedi muttered, before announcing a call.

O'Grady reluctantly tabled his {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for two-pair with a queen-kicker and received the bad news when Trivedi showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a better two-pair.

O'Grady exited the tournament floor straight after the hand as Trivedi raked in the pot to move up to 24,000 in chips.

Mason Looks the Goods

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Jesse Mason
Jesse Mason

Jesse Mason just caught the attention of the media team with his large chip stack as well as his choice of attire.

Mason is sporting a floral dress after losing a bet with a friend. In the recent fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor, both friends chose a fighter to win, with the loser having to put on a dress for this event.

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} Mason bet and was called by his opponent in middle position. The turn came the {4-Spades} and Mason bet 2,000 which was matched. The {9-Hearts} completed the board and Mason tossed out a large enough bet to see his opponent muck his hand instantly.

Mason sits behind a stack of 37,000 after already taking out a player earlier in the level.
