Tang Folds To Lonis' Flop Bet

Nick Vazquez

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Danny Tang limped from early position, Isaac Haxton called from the small blind, before Jesse Lonis raised to 24,000 from the big blind. Tang announced he was ready to gamble and called, before Haxton folded.

The flop came K♥7♠2♠ and Lonis bet 20,000. Tang folded, and Lonis showed A♠Q♥J♥10♥ for a strong starting hand that didn't connect with the flop in a major way.

Erik Seidel has re-entered the tournament, and is seated to Haxton's left.

Adam Lamers

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened to 20,000 in early position and Kristopher Tong three-bet to 88,000 from the small blind. Lonis just called and the flop of J♣2♣2♦ was spread across the felt. Tong moved all in for his last 86,000 and Lonis used a time bank before making the call.

Kristopher Tong: A♣A♦8♠2♥ All in
Jesse Lonis: K♠K♦7♦5♣

Tong had aces with a deuce in his hand while Lonis was drawing slim with pocket kings. The 9♦ on the turn gave Lonis a flush draw and the 4♦ on the river completed his flush, without improving Tong who was left stunned by the runout.
