Im Snatches the Lead

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Vivian Im
Vivian Im

PokerStars Team Pro Vivian Im has grabbed hold of the chip lead after running over Dong Il Kim in a huge pot.

The hand began with Im raising it up to 4,300 and a third player three-betting to 10,600. Kim cold called before Im four-bet, making it 38,000. The raiser folded, but Kim made the call, going heads-up with Im to a {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop.

Im c-bet, making it 29,000, and Kim made the call. They both checked the {2-Clubs} turn, but when the {4-Diamonds} river came down, Im fired again, making it 54,500. Kim decided to give up, handing Im a pot that pushed her stack up to just under 400,000.

Kagawa Bows Out

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The board was almost rushed away and Rintaro Kagawa let out an "oh my god" after his {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} were cracked. It was Rolf Galasen who had the {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and made a straight on the {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board to boost up his stack further just before the end of the previous level.

The Norwegian was also just handed a bottle of wine by APPT President Danny McDonagh after having won a side bet yesterday. Running good, most definitely.

The Maniacal Norwegian

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Svein-Jorgen Kristensen
Svein-Jorgen Kristensen

Playing a loose-aggressive style has paid dividends for Svein Jorgen Kristensen once again.

The maniacal Norwegian has had his ups and downs throughout the day, playing a wild and swingy style, but he has now pushed past the 300,000 mark and reserved a spot amongst the leaders.

"I'm just playing good, flopping hands and people are calling," he told PokerNews.

In fact, Kristensen picked up aces and got paid, then limped {k-}{2-} and flopped trip dueces to collect yet another pot on the way to 330,000 now.

Three Players All In; None Out

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Seung Soo Jeon had three-bet to 11,500 and Nicandro Filart moved all in for 39,700 before Yang Zhang was to act. He announced all in according to himself but the dealer only understood call, which left the Chinese with 17,200 behind. Zhang started arguing but the call stood and they proceeded to the {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop.

Zhang moved all in and Jeon called.

Filart: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Zhang: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Jeon: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The former big stack had the worst hand and the {3-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river changed nothing to keep everyone alive.

So Many Aces

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It seems as almost every single recent all in contained pocket aces. This time it was Inge Forsmo with the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and short stack Yu Ping Lin stood no chance with {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} on a board of {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Another Norwegian makes a run for a big stack, this is becoming a habit.

Yu Busts Li and Gets More

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In a three-way all in, Winfred Yu had the best possible scenario with holding the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and finding short stack Yan Li at risk with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Even better was the fact that Mital Chandihok also called his shove for 58,600 with the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Yu shot up all the way to 160,000 after starting the day with less than starting stack.

Mykhatso Busts Zhu in Two Hands

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Yaxi Zhu
Yaxi Zhu

Within two hands, Yaxi Zhu sent over all her chips to table neighbor Dominic Mykhatso. The first hand saw her open-shove the small blind with {J-}{6-} and the equally short-stacked Mykhatso called with {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} to hit a straight on the {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board.

One hand later, Sam Ng limped, Zhu moved all in for her last 4,000 and Mykhatso shoved out of the small blind for 54,900. "If you win, you bust two players," the Canadian grinned over to Ng but ultimately got a fold. Mykhatso won the hand with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} versus {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} on a board of {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}.

It's Time To Get Il

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Dong Il Kim
Dong Il Kim

After a nearly disastrous start, Dong Il Kim has completely turned things around now.

He joined one caller of a Ching Wei Chen opening raise on the button and the small blind came along for the ride going four-handed to a {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. The small blind checked and Chen c-bet, making it 5,000. The fourth player in the hand folded before Kim raised it up to 16,000.

The small blind folded and Chen called, going heads-up with Kim to the {k-Spades} turn. Chen checked and when Kim bet 23,000 he found a fold.

With that hand, Kim became the second player over 300,000, joining chip leader Aaron Lim at the top of the leader board.
