Lin Finds Fold

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Following a raise to 400, Celina Lin three-bet to 850 next to act from the button.

The original raiser called before both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop as the {2-Diamonds} landed on the turn. Lin fired out a delayed continuation-bet of 900 which was called by her opponent as the {6-Diamonds} on the river was met with a bet of 1,300 from Lin.

After taking a few minutes to find a decision, Lin's opponent announced he was all in for over 33,000 which put Lin in the tank for over three minutes before eventually folding and slipping to 26,000.

Tang vs. Kuo

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Kitty Kuo opened for 300 and received a call from Devan Tang in the small blind. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet of 600 on the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, and then checked for a second time when the {3-Diamonds} turned.

Kuo wasted little time in betting 1,200, but she couldn't shake her opponent as Tang made a relatively quick call. When the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Tang checked and Kuo did the same. Tang tabled the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for eights and fives, and it was good as Kuo mucked her cards.
