More for Lim; Loeser Hangs In There

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, Mustapha Kanit checked out of the big blind and called a bet of 58,000 by Michael Lim from under the gun. On the {4-Diamonds} turn, Kanit checked once more and called a bet of 90,000 by Lim before the {A-Diamonds} river was checked entirely. Kanit flipped over {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}, but Lim had that beat with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a pair of kings.

In a battle of the two shortest stacks, Jack Salter opened to 54,000 and Manig Loeser came along from the big blind. On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Loeser checked and called a bet of 44,000 by Salter. The {2-Diamonds} turn brought no betting action and Loeser carefully shuffled his remaining stack on the {7-Diamonds} river before moving all in for around 190,000. Salter gave it some thought and sent his cards into the muck.

Lim Takes from Christner

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit faced a raise to 65,000 by Christian Christner and three-bet to 190,000. Christner was about to pull back his raise and four-bet but changed his mind and folded.

Then, Kanit raised to 65,000 and Michael Lim called on the button, as did Christner in the big blind. On the {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Christner checked and Kanit bet 65,000. Lim raised it up to 165,000 and that resulted in a call from Christner and a fold from Kanit. The {6-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river were both checked through and Lim as last aggressor flipped over {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Christner mucked.

Christian Christner raised to 70,000 on the button and Mustapha Kanit defended his big blind.

The pair checked the {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn before the {4-Diamonds} came on the river. Kanit bet 80,000 and Christner quickly called.

Kanit turned over {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} while Christner showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

Loeser Doubles Through Lim

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Manig Loeser made it 70,000 to go first to act and picked up a call by Michael Lim in the big blind. On the flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Lim checked and subsequently check-raised all in against a bet of 80,000 by Loeser. The German called all in for 327,000 and the cards were tabled.

Manig Loeser: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Michael Lim: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Neither the {3-Diamonds} turn nor the {A-Clubs} river improved Lim and Loeser doubled to overtake the Malaysian in the counts with five players remaining and the top three spots paid.

Loser Closing In on a Million

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

In a limped battle of the blinds, Manig Loeser bet the {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop for 30,000 and Christian Christner called from the big blind. The {2-Diamonds} turn was checked through and Loeser's bet of 137,000 on the {9-Spades} river forced a fold from Christner.

Mustapha Kanit opened to 65,000 first to act and a three-bet by Loeser to 225,000 on the button did the trick to claim the second pot in a row.

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jack Salter limped on the button. Mustapha Kanit announced all in from the small blind. Michael Lim folded his big blind, and Salter snap-called for his last 375,000.

Jack Salter: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Mustapha Kanit: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

There was no sweat on a {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} run-out and Salter doubled up.

A short while later Kanit made it 65,000 and Lim called in the cutoff. Salter then moved all in and got two folds.

Michael Lim raised to 80,000 first to act and Mustapha Kanit called in the big blind. The flop fell {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and both players checked. Kanit checked the {5-Diamonds} turn and folded to a bet of 120,000 by Lim.

Jack Salter opened to 67,000 on the button and Lim came along from the big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Lim bet 71,000. Salter raised it up to 201,000 and Lim called. No further betting action took place on the {5-Clubs} turn and {K-Clubs} river and Lim tabled the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of tens as winning hand.
