Fabiano Chipping Back Up

Fabiano Michael and the trophy he is hoping to take home!
Fabiano Michael and the trophy he is hoping to take home!

Young-shin Im opened to 90,000 from the button with Fabiano Michael making the call as the {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} flop was dropped by the dealer.

Michael checked and Im fired out a continuation bet of 90,000 only to have Michael bump it to 200,000.

Im made the call, but when the {2-Spades} landed on the turn, a bet of 175,000 from Michael was enough to see him collect the pot after tank-mucked.

With Im slipping to 3,010,000, Michael climbs to 1,520,000 in chips.

Fabiano Michael opened to 90,000 from the button and Young-shin Im defended her big blind as a {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} flop fell.

Im checked and Michael fired out 100,000 which Im quickly called as the {5-Hearts} rolled off on the turn.

Taking the lead this time, Im fired out 100,000 only to have Michael respond with a raise to 270,000. Im called, and both players checked the {7-Hearts} on the river to see Im's {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} best Michael's {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

As Im raked in the pot to move to 3,410,000, Michael slipped to 1,120,000 in chips.

Young-shin Edges Back

Young-shin Im made it 80,000 to go from the button with Fabiano Michael making the call from the big blind.

The {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} board was checked through to see Im flash just the {Q-Clubs} to collect the pot and return the heads-up battle back to where it started; sitting with 2,900,000 to Michael's 1,630,000.

Fabiano Michael limped in from the button before Young-shin Im bumped it up to 130,000.

Michael deliberated for a few moments before sliding in five stacks of yellow 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a raise of 400,000.

Im didn't hesitate too long before sending her cards flying to the muck as Michael flashed his {6-Clubs}.
