Lin Triples Up Against Ichinose and Halatenko

Christian Zetzsche

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stanislav Halatenko raised to 300,000 from a late position and Ren Lin just called in the cutoff, leaving himself 5,000 behind. Kosei Ichinose called on the button and the blinds folded.

On the 10♠5♠4♠ flop, Halatenko checked and Lin flicked in his final chip. Ichinose called and so did Halatenko.

"You call also? So much gamble, no future," Lin joked.

The two active players checked it down on the Q♥ turn and 2♠ river as Halatenko exposed his 9♣7♥6♦5♣. Lin had a flush with the Q♦8♠7♠5♦ and that was good, as Ichinose flashed his king-high combo with just the K♠ to allow Lin a triple-up.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ren Lin opened the action preflop by betting the pot from middle position. Ap Garza, the big blind, called the bet of 560,000.

The flop came 5♦8♥8♠, and both players checked. The 2♦ turn followed the same pattern.

The 10♥ river brought a bet of 1,300,000 from Garza, which was enough to put Lin all in. Lin thought for a couple of minute before tossing in a call, saying "Nice hand." Garza showed J♦10♠8♣6♦ for a full house, and Lin's A♦10♦K♠Q♦ did not improve enough to keep him in. Lin exited in eighth place.

Large Double for Pearson Against Garza

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Stanislav Halatenko raised to 480,000 out of the small blind and then folded when Sam Soverel three-bet the pot.

Ap Garza opened to 320,000 and Halatenko raised the pot from one seat over. When Garza glanced over, Halatenko told him "I don't care".

Garza grinned, replied "we are in the same boat" and they bumped fists.

Garza opened to 320,000 soon after and Travis Pearson defended the big blind. On a Q♦6♦5♥ flop, Pearson check-called for 400,000 and the 10♥ fell on the turn. Pearson now bet the pot for 1,680,000 and Garza called after some consideration.

The 6♥ river was checked by Pearson and Garza announced all-in. Having double-checked his cards, Pearson announced call and Garza tabled his A♣4♣3♦2♦ for a missed straight and low flush draw. Pearson revealed his Q♣10♦10♠8♦ for tens full of sixes and doubled for 2,210,000.

Ap Garza raised to 560,000 under the gun, and Peng Shan defended his big blind.

The flop came 3♥5♠2♥, and Shan checked. Garza bet the pot, and Shan called all in for less.

Peng Shan: K♥8♥6♥4♥
Ap Garza: A♠K♠J♦6♦

Shan flopped a straight, which the 4♦ turn and 5♥ river upgraded to a straight flush to double Shan up.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Action was joined going to the flop, with bets of 720,000 made by both Arthur Morris in the cutoff and Travis Pearson on the button.

The flop came 10♥A♠J♣. The first bet came from Pearson, who put in 550,000. Morris made the call.

The turn brought the 7♣. Morris checked to Pearson, who bet the pot. Morris would be all in if he called, and he begun to think. He spent approximately three minutes to decide on his course of action as he thought aloud. Eventually, Morris showed two aces as he folded top set.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Kosei Ichinose limped in and Ap Garza raised the pot for 640,000 out of the small blind, which Ichinose called with around 1,400,000 behind. Garza then announced a pot-sized bet on the Q♥9♠4♥ flop and Ichinose counted the chips he had behind before nodding and pushing all into the middle, earning a call from Garza with the barely covering stack.

Kosei Ichinose: A♣J♥J♠10♣
Ap Garza: A♥K♥9♦7♦

Garza was behind but had plenty of outs to recover from the previous blows. The 3♠ turn was not among them but the 3♥ river was, ending Ichinose's run in seventh place for $163,405. Ichinose earned the applause from his Japanese rail before heading to the payout desk.

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In a three-way limped pot to the J♣7♦2♥ flop, Arthur Morris bet 425,000 from under the gun and Travis Pearson raised from the next seat. Sam Soverel folded and Morris pushed his chips into the middle.

Arthur Morris: Q♦J♠10♥7♥
Travis Pearson: A♥J♥7♣5♦

The 4♠ turn gave Pearson a gutshot wheel draw to go with his live card but instead, it was Morris who improved thanks to the 10♠ river and scored a double-up.

Travis Pearson	8,650,000 2,650,000	2,650,000
