Loewen Doubles Again

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Prashanth Nataraj opened under the gun for 5,000 and Xiangqun Lin three-bet all in for 39,500 from middle position. Action was on Gregory Loewen who moved his 37,500 in the middle sitting behind Lin. Action folded back around to Nataraj who mucked his hand and the two players tabled their hands.

Xiangqun Lin: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Gregory Loewen: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Lin liked what he saw as soon as the cards were flipped over but hated the {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop.

The {5-Hearts} fell on the turn and Lin was calling for an ace on the river but it didn't come as it fell the {2-Hearts} to leave Lin with only 2,000.

Lin found a double-up but was eliminated shortly after.

Gregory Loewen open-jammed for 13,900 from early position and Rafael Polanco came over the top from the small blind. Action was on the Doug Shrik who called from the big blind having both Loewen and Polanco covered.

Gregory Loewen: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Rafael Polanco: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Doug Shrik: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

LENIN MUTHULINGAM

On a board that read {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, Lenin Muthulingam was faced with an all in bet of 35,000 from his opponent. After counting outs his chips and careful consideration, Muthulingam called.

Lenin Muthulingam: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Muthulingam was drawing to the flush or a seven as his opponent had already made two-pair.

Fortunately for Muthulingam, the dealer dropped the {q-Spades} on the river to give him the win and eliminate his opponent.
