Two Barrels Work for Dai

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Liuheng Dai opened to 3,5000 and received two callers including Kosumosu Yamanaka. The flop came {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the big blind checked, Dai bet 6,500 and just the big blind came along.

After the {4-Clubs} turn, a second barrel of 12,000 by Dai did the trick to force down all further action.

Lee Busts Two

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jun Obara
Jun Obara

Daniel Lee raised and picked up two callers to see the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop on which Jun Obara in the big blind shoved for around 14,500. Lee and the third player in the hand called, they then got it in after the {6-Spades} turn.

Obara tabled {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and was drawing dead as Lee turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for top set. He was not guaranteed the double knockout yet as he had to fade {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the combo draw. A blank {2-Clubs} came on the river and that sent the entire pot to Lee.
