Big Bet from Lin on River

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board read 9♥3♦8♠7♣ when this hand was picked up with over 200,000 already in the middle.

Jamie Dwan checked his option from the big blind before Ren Lin checked back on the button.

The round of checks brought the A♥ on the river. Dwan checked it over to Lin again before Lin obliged with a bet of 170,000 on the river.

Dwan gave it some thought but chose to fold in the face of Lin's river aggression as Lin took down the pot without a showdown.

Alex Anton began the action with an open to 12,000 from early position. Dan Smith countered with a three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind.

Anton made the call and sent them to a flop of Q♣4♠9♠. Smith continued for 38,000, and Anton stayed in the hand with a call.

The 10♣ saw fireworks as Smith shipped it for approximately 130,000. Anton quickly called to put Smith at risk.

Dan Smith: K♠K♦All in
Alex Anton: K♥J♠

The turn was a disaster for Smith as his pocket kings fell victim to a dominated hand as Anton improved to a straight.

Smith was left with the hope of a chop, but the 9♦ river was not what he needed as he was eliminated.

There were roughly 80,000 chips in the pot on 5♦9♣3♠.

Alexandre Reard in the small blind checked to Emre Nuhoglu who was on the button and he bet 60,000. Reard didn't take long before putting Nuhoglu all in, and Nuhoglu snap-called.

Emre Nuhoglu: 6♣5♣ All in
Alexandre Reard: Q♦9♦

The A♥ on the turn kept Reard in the lead but the brutal 6♠ on the river gave Nuhoglu the pot and a huge double-up.

Vladimir Minko was back at it again. This time, the hand began with an open by Benjamin Grise for 12,000 from under the gun. Vladimir Minko made the call from the hijack, and Akin Tuna joined the party with a call from the cutoff.

It checked to Minko on the Q♦Q♥4♦ flop before he put out a bet of 17,000. Tuna called, but Grise was done with the hand and made the fold.

Both players checked the A♦ turn to bring the 3♦ river. Minko put out a large bet of 175,000. Tuna did not think long before he made the fold.

There were roughly 60,000 chips in the pot on Q♣10♥5♠.

Eelis Parssinen in the small blind checked to Pavel Plesuv in the big blind and he fired out a bet of 16,000, and Parssinen called. The 9♥ on the turn saw Plesuv bet again for 52,000, and Parssinen came along with a call.

Plesuv decided to move all in for 260,000 effective on the A♦ river and after a long tank Parssinen made the call.

Pavel Plesuv: K♣J♥ All in
Eelis Parssinen: Q♠9♦

Plesuv had the nut straight whilst Parssinen was holding two pair.

A big pot broke out between Jesse Lonis from under the gun and Vladimir Minko from the next seat over.

The hand was picked up on the river of a pot that had already swelled past 200,000 on a board that read 6♠8♣2♦6♣10♥. Lonis checked before Vladimir Minko put in 315,000, which was more than enough to put Lonis at risk, who sat with approximately 228,000.

Lonis went into the tank as he played two time banks to think over his decision. He chose to make the call, and they went to a showdown.

Minko tabled A♥A♣ for a pair of aces to claim the pot as Lonis was eliminated.
