Kevin Huang into Six Figures

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

It has been a very productive start to the day for Kevin Huang, who has exceeded the 100,000 mark already. He recently won a pot in a hand against Mikhail Semin and Alex Lee.

With the turn card out and the board reading {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, Huang bet 1,500 into the pot. Lee three-bet to 3,700 and Semin passed. When Huang called, the dealer put a {7-Hearts} on the turn. Huang check-called Lee's 5,500 barrel and Lee immediately sent his cards into the muck. Huang didn't want to show either despite Semin encouraging him to do so "just for fun". There's a lot of friendly chatter coming from Table 17, who seem to be enjoying themselves whether or not they get to see Huang's cards.

Seo Takes From Kolev

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

In another blind v blind situation, Seungbeom Seo opened to 500 in the small and was three-bet to 1,300 by Yuliyan Kolev in the big.

The flop landed {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Seo check-called Kolev's 600 continuation. The turn was a {3-Clubs} and he check-called a 2,500 barrel. On the {9-Spades} river, Seo checked once more and Kolev checked it back. Seo tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and it was good for the pot, with Kolev mucking his hand.

Lie Building

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Aylar Lie is off to a strong start, despite losing a small stack to Sasha Liu just now. The two ladies are sat next to each other, with Liu having position. Liu took the pot having made a pair of aces, beating Lie's pair of fours. Liu needed the pot as she is now sat on half the starting stack, whereas Lie has chipped up in the first 45 mins.

Holodiuk Back Up to Starting Stack

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Serhii Holodiuk was down in chips until he recently scooped a nice pot. A player opened to 600 under the gun and Holodiuk three-bet to 1,200 on his direct left. The player in the big blind came along and the initial raiser did too.

On the {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Holodiuk continued for 3,000 when the action came to him. One player called and one folded. The turn was the {5-Spades} and Holodiuk bet 7,000 this time, which his opponent check-called.

The last card out was the {q-Clubs} and after another check, he put 8,000 over the line. This last bet proved too much for his opponent and when he folded, Holodiuk showed pocket {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.
