Danchev Marches On, Lin Not Pleased

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Celina Lin
Celina Lin

Celina Lin opened the action from under the gun, got a call from Dong Guo and then Dimitar Danchev bumped it up to 15,300. The blinds folded and when Lin called Guo mulled it over but left them to it.

The flop was {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Lin check-called a bet of 11,100 from Danchev. The turn card was the {4-Spades} and a further bet of 25,200 saw Lin make the call to see the river card {5-Spades}. A final check from Lin saw Danchev stare at the board before betting 50,100.

The bet represented nearly half of Lin’s remaining stack but call she did and mucked upon seeing Danchev table the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Lin indicated to Guo that she had {a-}{k-} and wasn’t best please about the result. Danchev just quietly stacked the chips to his ever growing pile.

Pavone Peeved By Gu

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Patrick Pavone opened the action and faced a three-bet from Huidong Gu. Pavone put in the calling chips and it was heads-up to a flop of {8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

Pavone checked it over to Gu and he carefully counted out a bet of 23,500. Pavone mulled it over and made the call. The turn card {10-Hearts} saw another check from Pavone and havibg counted his stack Gu moved all in.

Pavone slumped back in his chair, eyes to the ceiling. After some thought he threw in his {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} face up. “Show the jacks.” another player said but Gu pointed at the king.

“Unbelievable.” Pavone muttered, things just not going his way today.
