Lim vs Kitai vs Thumy

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Aaron Lim fired 4,000 on the {4-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} {5-Spades} river out of the small blind and Davidi Kitai made the call after some consideration. The Belgian mucked when he was shown {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} by Lim.

The Australian jumped straight into the next pot by raising the button and Clement Thumy defended his big blind to see the {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} flop. Thumy check-called a bet of 800 and the {5-Hearts} turn as well as the {8-Spades} river were checked through. The Frenchman had to show first and revealed {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} for a busted flush draw, Lim scooped the pot with {5-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

The Kicker counts

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Joining the action on the {K-Clubs} {3-Spades} {K-Diamonds} flop after a preflop three-bet to 1,950 by Jack Salter, his opponent check-called a bet of 1,500 and did so again for 3,650 on the {Q-Hearts} turn. Salter didn't fire a third barrel once the {6-Spades} hit on the river and checked behind. The opponent turned over {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and Salter was slightly more creative with {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} to scoop the pot.
