Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kevin Lutz
Kevin Lutz

Rafal Kordys opened for 200,000 from middle position Michael Linster three-bet all in for 1,520,000 on the button. Action was on Kevin Lutz who called for less and Kordys mucked his hand face-up {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Kevin Lutz: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Michael Linster: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Lutz didn't like that Kordys held the same hand and was drawing dead after the {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop gave Linster top-set.

The {6-Clubs} came on the turn and the {j-Clubs} on the river to send Lutz home in 10th place.

Rothstein Takes Down Three-Way Pot with Higher Full House

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Linster opened for 225,000 on the button and was called by Russell Rothstein from the small blind, along with Mitchell Brown from the big blind to see a {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Action was checked to Linster who bet 250,000 and was called by both opponents.

The {4-Hearts} turn along with the {4-Spades} river were checked down. Both Linster and Brown held a five in their hand but that was no good as Rothstein tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} to take down the pot.

Mitchell Brown opened for 250,000 from the cutoff and Tam Nguyen defended his big blind to see the {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Nguyen check-called Mitchell's 250,000 continuation bet and saw the {4-Clubs} fall on the turn. Nguyen followed suit, check-calling Mitchell's 325,000 bet, along with his 425,000 bet after the {10-Spades} river completed the board.

Brown tabled {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the flush and Nguyen shook his head and tossed his hand into the muck.

Linster Turns Ten; Cracks Pahuja's Snowmen for Double

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Linster open-jammed under the gun for 1,105,000 and was called by Vineet Pahuja from the small blind.

Vineet Pahuja: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Michael Linster: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Pahuja was ahead with his made hand and nothing changed after the {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop but the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn pairing Linster.

Pahuja needed to spike an eight on the river to eliminate Linster but it came the {9-Spades} to give Linster the double.
