Michael Traps Akemi; Cameron Straightens Out Chen
Barbara Akemi raised to 10,000 in early position. Alonne Michael flat-called in middle position before Ivo Colaco three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind. Akemi called, but Michael had other plans and jammed all in for 134,000.
Colaco quickly folded. Akemi spent one of her time banks before she flicked in a single chip to call.
Alonne Michael: A♠A♦
Barbara Akemi: 8♠8♥
Michael improved to a set on the 10♠A♣5♦ flop, leaving Akemi drawing dead on the Q♠ turn. Michael officially raked in his double-up on the 7♥ river.
Meanwhile, at an adjacent table, Lin Chen had opened from under the gun. Duncan Cameron then three-bet to 30,000 in the hijack, prompting Chen to move all in for 126,000. Cameron called after some time in the tank.
Lin Chen: Q♦Q♣
Duncan Cameron: A♣J♦
Cameron flopped Broadway on 10♥K♣Q♥. Chen was still in contention with his set, but the board did not pair on the 8♦ turn or 2♠ river, eliminating Chen.
