Lu Takes a Few More

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Nothing dramatic has happened recently but Lu has the big stack and is picking up a lot of pots. It has helped that he has mostly had the best hand too.

Hall Makes a Hand

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante

On the turn of a board reading {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Tom Hall bet 600,000 with {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for two pair and Ning Lu called with {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for one pair and a flush draw.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and a pot-sized shove won Hall the hand.

Hall has upped the aggression ever so slightly and coupled with Lu missing flops, Hall is creeping back up to even.
