Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After Mykola Kostyrko checked from the big blind on a flop of 5♦Q♣2♣, Brian Rast put out a bet from early position, with Russell Sartin calling from the hijack. Kostyrko check-raised to 7,300, which only Rast called.

Upon seeing the J♣ turn, Kostyrko paused for a long time before checking the action over to Rast, who checked behind.

The A♠ river got another check from Kostyrko, but Rast bet 12,300. Kostyrko deliberated for a while before ultimately folding and allowing Rast to drag in the pot.

McMahon Rivers Lin

Brett Slezak

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Ren Lin opened to 1,000 from middle position and Carter McMahon defended his big blind.

On the Q♦6♣5♣ flop, McMahon check-called a bet of 1,000 from Lin.

McMahon then led on the repeat 5♦ turn for 4,000 and Lin stuck around with a call.

On the 6♦ river, McMahon fired again for 10,000, sending Lin into the tank. After a little over a minute, Lin would compliment his opponent on a nice hand as he flicked in calling chips. McMahon tabled 4♦2♦ for a rivered flush which was good as Lin flinged his cards into the muck.

This table has been selected for the main feature table for the PokerGO stream, where they will be moving on the break. Brian Hastings is also sat at the table with a healthy stack.

Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Meng-Ling Lin came in with a raise to 1,200 from early position before Cherish Andrews three-bet to 3,600 from the next seat. After the rest of the table had folded, Lin made the call.

Lin check-called a bet of 2,500 from Andrews on the 8♠3♣K♦ flop.

The 10♥ turn and 2♣ river checked through, and Lin flipped over K♠Q♥ for a pair of kings. Andrews mucked, and Lin pulled in the pot.
