Lin Gets Away With Mistake

Andrew Hinrichsen raised to 10,500 from under the gun +1 to kick things off. The action was folded around to Ping Lin on the button, and he tried raising to 11,000. The dealer pointed out that the raise was 10,500, and Lin immediately seemed to realize that he had made a mistake. With just 42,000 chips behind this could turn into a costly mistake. Aaron Lim called from the big blind, and three players saw the flop.

The flop brought out {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and both Lim and Hinrichsen checked. Lin moved all in from the button and both his opponents folded. Lin picked up an important pot for his stack, but he remains as one of the short stacks.

Raiden Kan
Raiden Kan

Today wasn't Raiden Kan's day. He started the day as one of the big stacks, but he was just knocked out in 19th place bringing the field down to just two tables. Kan ended up all in for his final 78,000 chips and Xing Zhou made the call.

Xing Zhou: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Raiden Kan: {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}

The window card was the {A-Hearts} and Kan jumped up. He was quickly knocked down again when the {10-Hearts} showed up. Now it was Zhou's turn to show some emotion as he almost sealed the deal when the {5-Hearts} completed the flop. The {8-Spades} on the turn did it for Kan who left the tournament area when the {9-Clubs} completed the board. Just 18 players remain, and the table draw will follow shortly.
