Lim Doubles Into the Lead
Level 16
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Lim raised to 100,000 and Manig Loeser called. On the 
flop, Loeser checked and folded to a bet of 125,000 by Lim. The latter flashed 
and explained to the floor staff that he promised to show all nines.
Soon after Lim raised preflop and bet the flop before shoving on the 
turn. Loeser called and the cards were turned over.
Michael Lim: 
Manig Loeser: 
Lim had the best of it with top pair and the straight draw, while Loeser had second pair and the same straight draw. An ace or nine would result in a split pot, while Loeser needed a queen to win it right there. A blank 
river let Lim double for 1.255 million and he jumped into the lead.
