Breathing Room For Razavi

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Sam Razavi has just tripled up holding pocket queens. The 2012 APPT Grand Final winner moved all in and got called by one player who was squeezed out by a third player.

Razavi ended up heads up against {4-}{4-} and his hand survived the five cards that appeared on the board. Razavi still doesn't have much, but it's a whole lot better than a few minutes ago.

Onda Is On A Slippery Slope

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Toshiyuki Onda started out the day eleventh in chips but has not had an easy go of it this afternoon. In this particular hand, he opened the action by raising to 2,400 from under the gun. He was three-bet from a middle position player to 8,000. Onda made the call and the players saw a {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Onda check-called his opponent's bet of 7,000 and the {3-Hearts} turn was dealt. Onda took the betting lead with 18,000. His opponent answered by moving all in. Onda cut out the chips to call which appeared to leave him with just about 16,000 behind. After some serious thought, he reluctantly let his cards go leaving him with about 1/3 of his stack from the start of the day.

Trouble For Razavi

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Sam Razavi had just been knocked down to only 7,000 chips after he was on the losing end of an important hand.

Razavi raised to 3,300, from a total of 21,400, and the button and small blind decided to call. The flop brought out {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and all three players checked.

On the turn the {5-Clubs} hit and Razavi bet 3,900 after the small blind had checked once more. The button folded and the small blind called putting the {A-Hearts} out on the river. The small blind lead out for 7,500 and Razavi reluctantly called.

"Flush!" the gentleman excitedly announced as he showed {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Razavi quietly mucked before uttering, "I just can't fold that," indicating that he had indeed made a strong hand. The former APPT Grand Final winner has just a few big blinds left and he's likely to be all in within the next orbit or so.

Broadway For Kim

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Sid Kim, a from the USA but currently living in South-Korea, just managed to find himself a very big double up. The board read {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs} when Kim had moved all in for 35,200 and the action was on David Martirosyan who went into the tank for several minutes.

Eventually the clock was called and in the final seconds Martirosyan decided to make the call.

Kim turned over {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} and after some "ooohs" and "aaahs" from the players at the table he raked in this big pot.

Aaron Lim
Aaron Lim

Just a few hands after his double up, Aaron Lim found himself with {a-}{6-} against the {a-}{10-} of David Martirosyan.

We didn't see the action first hand but were told by Martirosyan and table mate Ron Kluber that Lim initially raised to 3,000 and Martirosyan reraised to put Lim all in. Lim called and the flop came {a-}{k-}{10-} to seal Lim's fate. Martirosyan is having a good morning so far and is accumulating a very healthy stack.

Lim Doubles

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

After blinding down to just 7,100 in chips, Aaron Lim patiently waited for a hand by folding the first four that he saw. He was under the gun when he found {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} and decided to go with it, pushing his final 6,700 into the middle. He was called by Chunjie Liu with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Lim got out of his chair, resigned to call it a day. The outlook got much brighter when the {8-Diamonds} came on the turn. After the {2-Spades} came on the river, he took his seat ready to find his next opportunity for a double up.
