Ashby Eliminates Lim

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

With around 30,000 already in the pot and board showing {2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} Yohwan Lim was faced with an all in bet from his opponent David Len Ashby who was seated from the small blind. After a minute or so of contemplation Lim called and the players tabled their hands.

Yohwan Lim: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
David Len Ashby: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Lim rivered top two-pair but that was second best to Ashby's flopped set and Lim exited the playing field.

Vieira Involved in Early Action

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

A few days ago, the French and Portuguese rail was celebrating the victory of Joao Vieira in the corner feature table as he earned his first career bracelet.

On the {4-Spades} turn, Johansen checked and folded to another bet.

Vieira opened to 1,800 the next hand and was called by Sean Dwyer. Joshua Tieman three-bet to 7,700 and that forced folds from Vieira and Dwyer.
