Han's Kicker Gets Him the Pot

[user75032]

After losing a chunk of his stack to David Hilton earlier, Dong-bin Han seems to have reined in his play a touch. After Hilton opened for 100,000, Han called. Both players checked a {K-Diamonds}

flop. When a third diamond hit the turn, Han checked and called a bet of 75,000 from Hilton. The {A-Diamonds}

on the river killed all further action, with Han showing down a small flush, {K-Spades}

, to take the pot.

Han's Kicker Gets Him the Pot: Episode Two

[user92162]

Sequels are always worse than the original... but who cares.

Dong-Bin Han opened from the button to a min-raise 100,000. David Hilton called and they took a {6-Spades}

flop.

Hilton check-called a 90,000 chip bet from Han on the flop. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}

and this time Han fired 270,000 which Hilton check-called. Both players checked off the {k-Clubs}

river and Hilton showed {Q-?}

which would not be enough to beat Han's {A-Hearts}

.

Back to Square One

[user75032]

David Hilton was unable to hold onto his almost three-to-one chip lead. The match is almost square again after a raising war broke out on the turn of a {j-Hearts}

board in a limped pot. Hilton put in the first bet of 75,000. Dong-bin Han raised to 175,000, drawing a re-raise from Hilton to 425,000. Han raised over the top of that to 925,000, drawing a snap-muck from Hilton. Han showed {J-Diamonds}

for a flush.

Han Takes the Chiplead

[user92162]

Preflop, Dong-Bin Han opened to 150,000 from the button and David Hilton three-bet him to 350,000. Han made the call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}

and Hilton fired out 350,000. Han came straight over the top all in and Hilton folded almost as quickly.

Han leads 3,900,000 to 2,400,000.

Hilton Fires Back

[user75032]

Dong-bin Han has been controlling the pace of this heads-up match repeatedly betting at and raising David Hilton, especially before the flop. He has been three-betting Hilton relentlessly, with little pushback from Hilton. Hilton may have realized what's going on, because he opened a recent pot to 100,000, faced a re-raise to 335,000 from Han, and then fired back another 400,000 himself. That slowed down Han and induced a fold.

Four Bet Pays Hilton

[user92162]

David Hilton opened to 100,000 and Dong-bin Han made it an additional 175,000. Hilton came back over the top for 350,000 more. This sent Han into the tank and he folded.
