Lew Slips

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With the completed board reading {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Randy Lew was under the gun and bet 1,075 into an existing pot of about 3,000. His lone opponent in middle position raised, and after a bit of thought, Lew folded and his opponent took the chips.

Saitoh Takes One

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The player under the gun opened to 525, Ryuichi Saitoh called from the hijack, and Valeriy Fokin called from the button.

The flop fell {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the preflop raiser checked. Saitoh bet 1,000, Fokin folded, and the preflop raiser did the same shortly thereafter, so Saitoh took the pot.

After one limp in middle position, Hyeonwoo An made it 700 to go in the cutoff. A player on the button called and so did the small blind, but Celina Lin made it 3,500 to go out of the big blind. Both An and the small blind called.

Action checked to An on the {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, and he shoved all in for 17,425. The small blind quickly folded but Lin thought about two minutes and called.

Lin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
An: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

If Lin was hoping to see a draw, she was left disappointed. The turn was a {j-Spades} and the river an {8-Clubs}, so An doubled up with two pair.

Zhu Off to a Nice Start

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Xiangbiao Zhu, who cashed in the High Roller here, bricked on his first try in the Main Event yesterday. However, he's off to a good start on Day 1c after a sizable pot here in Level 4.

With the board reading {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and about 15,000 in the middle, Zhu bet 7,800 from the button after the big blind checked. That player thought a bit and splashed in a call. Zhu turned over {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the nut flush.
