Two Shoves Get Through; Lin Gives Advice

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Michael Cheng raised to 375,000 in early position before Cenk Cerci moved all in for 3,000,000 on the button. Cheng quickly folded.

Soukha Kachittavong then shoved for 1,100,000 on the button, and both blinds folded.

Action then folded to Oliver Simon in the small blind who attempted to raise to 450,000 but only put in four white 100,000 chips first. The dealer announced he had to raise to 400,000, but Cheng still quickly gave up his big blind.

"The intention was there. Not the execution," Travis Hartshorn said.

"You have to say the raise. Make it verbal," Wooyang Lin added.

"How much you charge for that?" Cheng joked with him.

"Your verbal is all in," Hartshorn said to Lin.
