Hands 84-86: The Endgame Approaches

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #84 Action on this hand was missed during the commotion caused by Lind's elimination of Bashist, but it was a simple raise and take preflop.

Hand #85: Moments after claiming another pelt, Lind decided to slow things down, limping in from the small blind. After Holley checked his option, the dealer fanned a flop of {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Both players tapped the table, and the {8-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Another check by Lind prompted Holley to fire 60,000 forward, and Lind looked him up to see the {5-Hearts} fall on the river. Lind checked for a third time, and Holley's bet of 80,000 finally forced Lind off his hand, which he showed to be the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for pure air.

Hand #86: Holley limped in, but folded to Ott's raise of 200,000.

Hand #83: Barry Bashist opened for 225,000 from under the gun, and with the overwhelming chip lead, Kenneth Lind could easily afford the call.

When the flop rained down {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Lind checked it over to Bashist, who quickly fired a bet of 300,000 forward. Lind thought about it for thirty seconds or so, before tossing out the requisite chips for a call.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} on board, and Lind checked a second time, prompting Bashist to announce himself all in for his last 950,000.

Lind then stood up and snap-called with authority, throwing his {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} down on the table to proclaim that he held the nuts. Bashist could only reveal his {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} in shock, going from exhiliration at hitting his two pair on the turn, to anguish after being trapped by Lind.

Bashist still had hope to fill up on the river, but the {9-Clubs} was not the card he was looking for, and he exited the Mothership main stage with a 4th place finish.
