Zobian Spikes Broadway to Leave Lin Short-Stacked

Kai Cocklin

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ren Lin and Aram Zobian got their very similar stacks of around 150,000 into the middle preflop with Lin the clear favorite.

Aram Zobian: A♦J♣ All in
Ren Lin: J♦J♠

Lin kept his lead after the 4♣Q♠K♥ flop but the 10♣ turn gave Zobian Broadway. An ace on the river was the only way that Lin could salvage anything from the pot but instead the J♥ dropped, which improved him to a meaningless set.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marcelo Bonanata was already all in for a bit under 100,000 from the big blind against Jan Eric Schwippert, who has Bonanata covered in the small blind.

Marcelo Bonanata: 2♠2♥ All in
Jan Eric Schwippert: J♣J♠

Bonanata found himself in rough shape with his deuces, and the 10♠5♦Q♠A♣7♠ runout kept Schwippert's jacks best for the elimination.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Konstantyn Holskyi opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Aram Zobian called in the cutoff before David Dongwoo Ko made it 28,000 out of the small blind. Both Holskyi and Zobian called.

On the 10♥8♥9♠ flop, all three checked around to the 5♣ turn. Ko and Holskyi checked, Zobian bet 28,000, and only Ko called.

Both checked it to showdown on the J♠ river where Ko tabled K♣K♦, which earned him the pot as Zobian mucked.

Dongwoo Ko	325,000 10,000	10,000
Aram Zobian	205,000 98,500	98,500

Victoria Livschitz was stood up and vacating the tournament area as the rest of her chips were being pushed in Teun Mulder's direction.

Livschitz's cards were already face down but the two got their stacks in preflop with Mulder's J♣J♥ coming out on top after the board ran out 9♦8♠7♥8♣2♠.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Yi Lin opened to 7,000 first to act and was called by Andrey Andreev on the button and Michel Molenaar in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Andreev, who bet 12,000 on the 5♣9♣6♥ flop. Molenaar folded and then Lin check-raised to 60,000.

Andreev verified the amount and then, after a bit of thought, slid his hand into the muck to send the pot Lin's way.

Yi Lin	255,000 95,000	95,000
Andrey Andreev	175,000 65,000	65,000

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michel Molenaar raised from the hijack to 6,000 and Andrey Andreev defended his big blind.

Andreev led out for 6,000 on the 3♥5♥8♦ flop, and Molenaar called.

A J♦ on the turn saw Andreev fire a second bet of 15,000, which Molenaar called again.

The 9♠ completed the board and Andreev bet 15,000 — the same sizing he did on the turn. Molenaar exhaled and rechecked his cards before he folded.

With 18,500 chips in the middle on a flop of 9♣6♥K♥, Arthur Conan and Jamil Wakil checked, then Jules Dickerson bet 4,500. Conan raised to 14,000, Wakil folded, and Dickerson called.

A Q♠ came on the turn where Conan slowed down with a check, and Dickerson bet 21,000. Conan folded.

Bonanata Triples Up, Lin Gets the Side and Ju Busts in Three-Way Clash

Dan O'Hair

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Samuel Ju and Marcelo Bonanata were already all in preflop against Yi Lin, who had both players covered. Bonanata was in for 38,000 and Ju was in for slightly more.

Marcelo Bonanata: K♦K♥ All in
Samuel Ju: 5♣5♠ All in
Yi Lin: J♦J♥

The 4♣6♦10♠A♥6♣ runout kept Bonanata best with his cowboys for the triple up and Lin took down the side pot with his pair of jacks to eliminate Ju, who reentered shortly after busting.

At another table, Ren Lin was also eliminated and reentered.
