Wang is Stealing the Candy

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Meng-Ling "Candy" Lin raised it up to 10,000 on the button and Vincent Huang called in the small blind. Yuzhu Wang three-bet to 38,000 from the big blind and Lin was the only caller, as Huang got out of the way.

The flop came 7♥6♠5♠ and Wang's bet of 30,000 was called, which left Lin with only 68,000 behind. After the K♥ turn, Wang bet 150,000 and Lin called it off.

Meng-Ling "Candy" Lin: Q♥3♥ All in
Yuzhu Wang: A♠A♣

Lin needed a four or hearts but the 9♠ on the river was no help for the rising Taiwanese player.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Don't let his wire-framed eyeglasses, affectionate smile and recurring laugh fool you, Stephen Song is one of the last people you want to see at the poker table. That's bad news for players at the Triton ONE series as the 2022 Global Poker Index (GPI) Player of the Year plans on playing a full slate of tournaments at the inaugural festival on South Korea's Jeju island.

Song has already had more than his share of success on the island, including two high roller victories at The Lord Poker Tour (TLPT) earlier this year.

Yet it hasn't all been smooth-sailing for the American pro, who revealed to PokerNews that he had a rough 2024 before turning it around and then some by winning the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event for a career-best $1.4 million.

Mike Watson got to the river out of position in a heads-up pot against Metasit Pratipsangkom on a board of 10♦7♦K♦Q♠5♠.

Watson checked on the river and Pratipsangkom bet 25,000. Watson check-jammed a stack of around 170,000 and Pratipsangkom went in the tank before calling.

Watson showed pocket jacks with a big blocker card with J♦J♠ and was sent to the rail as he couldn't beat the set of his opponent 7♥7♠.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Roman Stoika made it 10,000 to go and was called only by Lei Yu in the big blind, which led them to the 8♠8♣5♦ flop. Yu check-called for 6,000 and then led the 5♠ turn for 27,000 for Stoika to call. Yu bet the Q♥ river for 72,500 with a single chip behind and was looked up to get caught with the fingers in the cookie jar as he mucked.

The single chip disappeared shortly after in three-way action against John Zhang and Antal Mezei.

The A♥7♠2♣ flop paired up Campomanes right away and he held onto the lead thanks to the 9♦ turn and 6♦ river.

Konstantin Voronin opened the action from under the gun with a min-raise and he picked up a caller in Jesse Wigan on the button and Peng Huang out of the big blind. The Q♥J♣7♦ flop was checked by Huang and Voronin bet 10,000, Wigan the only caller.

After the 9♣ turn, Voronin led for 27,000 and Wigan made it 83,000 to go. Voronin reraised to 200,000 for more than half of his stack and called all-in when Wigan jammed.

Konstantin Voronin: Q♦J♠ All in
Jesse Wigan: K♠10♣

The two pair of Voronin were in trouble against the turned straight and he failed to improve with the 5♦ river.

Zhang's move came at the worst possible time with bottom pair and the 8♥ river was a mere formality.
