Kogan Eliminates Lin

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ren Lin shoved all in for 20,000 from the cutoff and Joel Kogan made the call from the small blind.

Ren Lin: A♦7♠ All in
Joel Kogan: K♣K♦

Lin needed some help and picked up a slither of it on the J♣4♦5♦ flop with plenty of backdoor draws.

A 3♠ on the turn did add some outs as now any four would completed Lin's straight, but the 2♠ river was a brick which meant Lin was felted.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of A♣2♦J♣, a player in early position bet 5,000, then Michel Molenaar in the big blind moved all-in for 35,000. The early-position player seemed unhappy about this move, but eventually called.

Michel Molenaar: Q♣5♣ All in
Early-position player: K♦J♦

Molenaar needed clubs or queens to survive, but he didn't find any on the 6♥9♠ runout and was eliminated.

Malcolm Trayner bought into the tournament late but is off to a good start after he eliminated an opponent.

Cutoff: A♠6♦ All in
Malcolm Trayner: A♦K♠

Trayner had his opponent drawing very slim on the Q♣A♥K♥ flop and nothing changed on the 10♣Q♠ runout which earned the Australian some extra chips.

A player on the button shoved all in for around 40,000 and John Perry made the call from the big blind.

Button: A♦5♦ All in
John Perry: J♥J♠

No ace appeared on the 3♣9♣6♠9♠4♦ board which meant Perry eliminated an opponent and got his stack up to around 200,000 chips just after the players returned from dinner break.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Valeriano Toledano raised to 6,000 from early position and was only called by the big blind.

The Spanish player continued for 3,000 on the 6♦8♠6♠ flop and the big blind check-called, then both players checked the 9♦ turn.

On the 9♥ river, Toledano bet 22,000 and the big blind check-called. Toledo flipped over 2x2x but quickly sent his cards into the muck as his opponent had A♥3♠.

Ren Lin is among the players who max late registered for the tournament.

Lin had an offer to his tablemates as soon as he sat down.

"I bet I will win the tournament,"

"I will offer 200-1 odds, who wants it?" said Lin. It's unknown if anybody took Lin up on the offer.
