Lin Spikes the River

Josh Noy

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

George Mitri opened to 12,000 in the hijack before Peter Lin moved all in for 89,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Mitri, who took some time before making the call.

Peter Lin: A♦2♦ All in
George Mitri: A♠J♦

"They're suited," said another player at the table as Lin saw he was behind to begin the hand. The 3♠6♦8♣ flop seemed to provide no help, but the 7♦ turn brought Lin a diamond draw.

Lin clapped as the dealer turned over the Q♦ river, completing his flush and earning the double up.

Ken Demlakian and Thomas Lee were heads up to the 2♦6♣5♣ flop, with a bet and call of 20,000 being dragged into the middle.

Demlakian checked from the hijack to Lee on the button, who fired 90,000.

After taking some time, Demlakian opted to lay his hand down and Lee raked in some more chips.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Embleton was all in on the button and at risk against Thomas Lee in the big blind. Both turned their hands up, with Embleton trailing.

Daniel Embleton: K♦5♦ All in
Thomas Lee: A♦Q♥

Both players found a pair on the A♣10♣K♥ flop, leaving Lee in the lead. The 6♣ turn changed nothing, while Lee improved to a straight on the J♥ river to eliminate Embleton.
