Lamb Forces Fold from Nguyen

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a board of {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and the pot sitting around 4,000, Tom Alner led out from the big blind for 2,200 with Edison Nguyen making the call from two seats over.

With the action on Ben Lamb in the small blind, he check-raised to 6,400 to force a fold from Alner but a call from Nguyen as the river landed the {6-Spades}.

Lamb tossed in 10,000, and after a few minutes of deliberation, Nguyen folded while slipping to 18,000 as Lamb approached 90,000 in chips.

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Lin Makes the Wrong Call for His Tournament Life

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Kanaan opened for 1,000 only to have Kai Sheng Yang three-bet to 2,000 from the button. Ping Lin made the call from the big blind, Kanaan called the additional 1,000, and three players saw a flop of {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}.

Two checks saw Yang bet 3,500, Lin called, and Kanaan got out of the way. Both players then checked the {10-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Lin checked for a third time, and that opened the door for Yang to move all in for 16,525.

Lin, who had 15,750 back, seemed tortured by the bet and thought for several minutes before a clock was called. After about 30 seconds, Lin called off his stack and his worst fears were realized. His {a-Spades}{q-Spades} was no good against the {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} rivered straight of Yang.

Nguyen slowed down with a check, and then folded when Tureniec bet 2,400.

Yu: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Kurita: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Burns Butchered on River

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Kahle Burns (from Day 1b)
Kahle Burns (from Day 1b)

Joel Feldman opened the button to 800 only to have Kahle Burns three-bet to 1,975 from the small blind.

Feldman made the call as the dealer dropped a {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board with Burns betting out 1,700. Feldman moved all in and Burns called for his last 13,000.

Burns: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Feldman: {Q-}{10-}

The turn landed the {Q-Diamonds} to give Burns the lead, but unfortunately for the recent WSOP Asia-Pacific finalist, the river landed another queen to give Feldman a full house and send Burns crashing to the rail early on Day 2.
