Five-Deuce Is Good For Lin

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Daniel Ghionoiu opened to 1,100 from the hijack and was called by Erik Seidel in the cutoff. Ren Lin defended his big blind, and a 2♥3♥7♠ flop landed on the table.

Ghionoiu made a continuation bet of 2,100, and Seidel folded. Lin looked at his chips and check-called.

"What do you want? A deuce?" asked Lin. "Yes," said Ghionoiu. But it's the 8♥ that came on the turn. Ghionoiu asked for 4,000 chips more, and once again, Lin, talkative as always, called.

The river card was the 9♥, and Lin quickly moved all in for 10,100 chips. Ghionoiu folded, and Lin revealed 5♠2♦ for a simple pair of deuces.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After an open by Rehman Kassam in early position to 800, Morten Klein in middle position three-bet to 1,600. But in the big blind, Martin Stausholm four-bet to 4,000. Kassam folded, and Klein called. However, on the flop 8♣4♣4♥, Klein folded after Stausholm made a continuation bet.

In the next hand, Klein was the one who opened to 900 in early position. Again, Stausholm in the small blind raised to 3,600. Klein called but, once again, he folded on the flop Q♣A♦K♥ when Stausholm bet 2,000.

Seconds later, in the next hand, Klein raised again under the gun to 900. But this time, it is Gilbert Diaz in the hijack who three-bet to 2,700. Klein called to see a third flop in a row. But here, he called a bet of 3,000 on 7♠6♣8♦.

The turn was the A♦, where Diaz bet 3,000 again. Klein raised to 10,000 to make Diaz fold and claim the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

At Gerard Pique's table, Ramon Kropmanns opened from under the gun, and Guilherme Ramalho called in the small blind.

On the flop 4♣7♣10♣, Kropmanns made a continuation bet of 700 and was called once again. So he fired a second barrel of 3,500 on the turn 6♠. But Ramalho didn't back down and called.

The Q♥ came on the river, where Ramalho checked. Kropmanns seemed to hesitate, but he decided to check back.

Ramalho revealed J♣7♠ for a pair, but Kromanns with A♣Q♠ for a pair of queens won the pot.
