Daniel Kneafsey
Daniel Kneafsey

Short stacked player Daniel Kneafsey just moved all in for 139,000 and the action folded around to Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin. Lin made the call and the other players folded.

Kneafsey: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Lin: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop brought {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and immediately Kneafsey took over the lead in this hand. Lin still had outs, but the turn, the {5-Diamonds}, nor the river, the {7-Hearts} were among those.

Mo Over a Million

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Mo raised to 23,000 from under the gun and watched as the action folded back around to Celina Lin on the big blind. She made the call and both players watched the flop come down {5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Both players checked before the dealer produced the {3-Diamonds} on the turn. Lin bet out 25,000 and was called before deciding to check when the {j-Clubs} completed the board.

Mo reached for his chips and splashed out 28,000 which was enough to take down the pot. Mo now has 1,049,000 in chips.

Boris Li Eliminated in 10th Place (KRW 12,625,000)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Boris Li
Boris Li

Tyler Jennens raised to 20,000 from the cut off and was called by Boris Li in the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Li checked. Jennens reached for his chips and threw out another 20,000 in chips and was met with an instant announcement of all in from Li. The bet totalled around 140,000 in chips and Jennens made the snap call.

Jennens: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Li: {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

It was Jennens’ straight draw up against Li’s flush draw. The {q-Hearts} gave both players a pair but Jennens was still in front with the higher kicker.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board seeing Li miss out on hitting his flush or two pair and narrowly missing out on the final table.

Rough Start for Lin

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin just lost another pot to Tyler Jennens, and that knocked her down to 315,000 chips.

We picked up the action on the turn when the board read {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} as Lin called a bet of 55,000.

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and Jennens bet a hefty 115,000. Lin tanked for quite some time, but eventually she folded her cards to surrender another pot to Jennens.

Tai Zheng Tan
Tai Zheng Tan

Daniel Demicki kicked things off with a raise to 20,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Tai Tan on the small blind who moved all in for 291,000 in chips. Demicki looked over at Tan’s stack before making the call.

Demicki: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Tan: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Tan was trailing against the pocket pair and would find no help as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds} to see him eliminated in 11th place.

Quad jacks for Demicki see him soar up to 1,260,000 in chips.

The action folded to Daniel Demicki who raised from the small blind to 25,000 and Shintaro Baba moved all in immediately from the big blind. Baba was all in for right around 140,000 and Demicki called instantly.

Demicki: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Baba: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and while it looked like Baba was going to receive a double up, it was the river that sent him to the rail.
