Alner Doubles Through Andersson

Level 8 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Mikael Andersson opened to 12,000 and immediately found the all in of Tom Alner. With the rest of the table out of the way, Andersson quickly called the all in and tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Alner showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and was the player at risk.

Alner found his ace on the flop when it came {5-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Spades} and now it was Andersson that needed some help. Unfortunately for him he didn't find it on the {3-Hearts} turn or the {6-Spades} river.

Liu Is Collecting Chips

Level 8 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We didn't see how Jj Liu got her latest stack of chips, but we did see her use her positional advantage on the button to punish the blinds. She is sitting with over 200,000 in chips now. Looks like she is ready to make a statement with another good finish.

Down to 3 Tables

Of the 59 entrants into today's event, only 27 remain. The action has been fast and furious but appears to be slowing down a bit as stacks are growing and the blinds are becoming more significant.

Lin Is Done

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Celina LIn

David Kang opened to 11,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin in the small blind. Lin thought for a while and counted her chips. She eventually decided on a raise to 34,000.

With the action back on Kang, he asked to see Lin's chips and eventually put 60,000 in the middle, enough to put Lin all in. Lin stared down Kang trying to get a rid and in the end she decided to go with her hand and was all in.

Lin: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Kang: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Upon seeing her opponent's hand, Lin always gracious, tapped the table in appreciation. Another nine came on the flop, all but solidifying Lin's fate and unfortunately, there was no runner runner in her future.

We just came up to the table as Christopher Park was packing up to leave. The board read {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} and Kenny Wong held {k-}{q-} while Park's {a-}{q-} was mucked by the dealer as he shipped the chips to Wong.

Yu Doubles Through Park

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With all the money in the middle pre-flop, Christopher Park was ahead with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Chung Yuan Yu.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} but the {q-Spades} turn caused a change in the lead. Yu faded the {2-Spades} river to double up, leaving Park short with about 38,000.
