Josh Noy

Level 12 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Three-way action to the 3♦2♣8♥ flop saw Tulasi Chenchala check in the big blind and Dominic Picinic follow suit from under the gun.

Ryan Depaulo tossed out a bet of 15,000 from the cutoff before Chenchala check-raised all for around 108,000. Picinic did not take long to shove his stack of 165,000, putting the decision on Depaulo.

After taking some time, Depaulo tossed in the call and the hands were turned up.

Ryan Depaulo: Q♠Q♥ All in
Tulasi Chenchala: 8♠6♣ All in
Dominic Picinic: 3♣3♥

Picinic's set of threes held through the 10♣ turn and 4♣ river, sending both Depaulo and Chenchala to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to Danny Vo, who raised from the small blind. Jon Dupee checked his cards and three-bet from the big blind, making the quick call when Vo moved all in.

Jon Dupee: A♥K♣ All in
Danny Vo: Q♠Q♦

The two players exchanged some playful banter as the 5♣J♠4♣ flop and J♥ turn left Vo's pocket queens in the lead.

The dealer then flipped over the K♠ river, giving Dupee the overcard he was looking for to earn the double-up and leave Vo short.
