Im With the Hammer

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Out of the big blind, Vivian Im had a raise to 1,300 in front of her and Lante Zhang reraised to 3,275. Im was not buying it and squeezed to 6,925 in order to enforce a fold. At the very same table is also Scott Davies, who finished third in the HK$50,000 Freezeout last night and previously won an event here in Macau last year.

Zhou Takes From Lin

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Yong Lin had already more than doubled his stack and min-raised out of the small blind to see Xing Zhou call from one seat over. On the {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Spades} flop, Lin made a bet of 300 and was called before firing the {3-Clubs} turn for 1,100. Again, Zhou called and the {A-Clubs} river killed any possible betting action.

Lin flipped over {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a busted flush draw while Zhou scooped the pot with {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Ward Gone in a Heartbeat

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

"I don't want the hand on the blog, that's how bad it was. It was all in pre," Thomas Ward said with a wry smile and walked out of the tournament area. After a rather short and bad day at the office, he can now relax or jump into the juicy cash game action while everyone else still has / wants to play another six levels and bag some chips for Day 2.

Lew Mucks the River

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Randy Lew flat-called a raise to 450 while sitting on the button and saw a heads-up flop of {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. His opponent continued for 600 and the PokerStars Team Online member made the call before checking behind the {7-Spades} on the turn. The {3-Hearts} fell on the river and Lew folded to a delayed second barrel worth 1,000 by the initial preflop aggressor.

The hand started with PokerStars Team Pro Bryan Huang raising to 500 from under the gun. He was called by the player in the cut off as well as the small blind before the three watched the flop come down {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

The player in the small blind then bet out 850 and was met with a call from Huang. The player in the cut off then bumped it up to 1,750 which was called twice before the {8-Spades} dropped on the turn. This time the action checked to the cut off who reached for his chips and placed out 5,500. The small blind agonised over his decision for over a minute before making the call.

Huang also made the call before the {4-Diamonds} completed the board. All three players then opted to check before cards were tabled. The small blind tabled his {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair before Huang rolled over his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} for a higher two pair. The player in the cut off then exposed his {4-Spades}{5-Hearts} for trip fours which was good enough to take down the pot.

Huang drops down to 12,200 in chips following the hand.
