McClean Calls Correctly

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 20,000 ante

Sergei Kislinski limped in from the small blind and Russel McClean checked his option. The flop came {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Kislinski check-called a bet of 100,000 from McClean.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and Kislinski checked again. McClean fired out another bet of 200,000 and Kislinski check-raised all in. McClean gave it some thought and then called off his stack of 1,335,000.

Kislinski turned over {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flush draw while McClean was ahead with {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The {8-Spades} on the river changed nothing and McClean earned himself a double up.

Platt Gets After It

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 20,000 ante

Sergei Kislinski raised to 225,000 on the button and Jeff Platt three-bet to 725,000 from the big blind. Kislinski called and they went heads-up to a flop of {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

Platt continued with a bet of 400,000 and Kislinski called to see the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Platt checked this time and Kislinski checked it back to the {5-Diamonds} on the river.

Platt announced a bet of 1,100,000 which made Kislinski think for a moment before releasing his cards to the muck.

Lydon Doubles from the Big Blind

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

It folded to Russel McClean in the small blind who dropped in a stack of around 1,500,000. Michael Lydon quickly called off his 970,000 chips from the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Michael Lydon: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Russel McClean: {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop provided no immediate help for McClean. However, the {4-Clubs} on the turn gave him a straight draw but the {j-Hearts} on the river was safe for Lydon to double up.

Cody Wiegmann: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Jeff Platt: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

It was a pure coin flip and the flop of {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} favored Platt with the pocket eights. The {10-Hearts} on the turn and the {8-Hearts} on the river was no help to Wiegmann who was eliminated in fifth place.
