Kings Hold for Lim

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

According to Yan Ming Lim, he had been sitting patiently for the last two hours but his patience has been rewarded when he got {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in against the {q-}{q-} of a single opponent.

The board came {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs} giving him top set and leaving his opponent short.

"If you had given me jacks I would have equally gone crazy," said Lim as he chipped up to over double starting stack.

Fold on the Flop for the Team Pro

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Celina Lin is in the field, but she is off to a rough start since she is down to 13,500. In her latest pot, she was three-way in a {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, and she called a bet at 10,000 from a player, with 13,300 already in the pot.

The third player in the hand raised all in, and he made both players fold. Lin thought about it for some time, asked if she has the option of a re-entry, and she got a confirmation she still folded. She said "nice bluff" to her opponent, prompting him to open his cards, but he didn't.

Kori Sets a Trap

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

There was a big pot of over 50 big blinds or 27,000 in the middle on a {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board.

Maiko Kori, who was initially under the gun, checked to the player on the button who eventually moved all in for 14,000.

Kori snap-called. Her opponent turned over {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for a missed flush draw, with Kori showing {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for the nut straight, sending her opponent to the rail and boosting her stack up over 70,000.
