Im Snatches the Lead

[user127999]

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

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 flop.

Im c-bet, making it 29,000, and Kim made the call. They both checked the turn, but when the 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.

The Maniacal Norwegian

[user127999]

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

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 and flopped trip dueces to collect yet another pot on the way to 330,000 now.
