Lin Back In, Instantly Loses Most of His Stack

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ren Lin was involved in a pot with Joakim Andersson, shortly after the former had reentered with a fresh stack of 500,000. A completed board of 6♦2♠A♠2♦K♥ was in front of the players, along with a pot of 370,000 chips.

Lin checked from under the gun before Andersson went into the tank. Eventually, he shoved all in for 220,000. Lin mulled it over for a bit but made the call not much later.

Andersson showed A♥K♠ for top two pair, while Lin was forced to show his A♣3♣ for the lesser two pair.

Paduano on the Move

Josh Noy

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ben Heath opened to 22,500 in the cutoff and was looked up by Arturo Paduano in the big blind.

Paduano checked the J♦K♣2♠ flop and called when Heath continued for 26,500. The 10♥ turn saw another check from Paduano, this time facing a bet of 72,000 from Heath.

Paduano took a moment before moving all in, resulting in a quick fold from Heath to pad his growing stack.

Five-Way Affair Sees Suvarna Double Up

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Timothy Adams kicked off the action with a raise to 13,000 from under the gun. Enzo Vito then called from the hijack, as did Jin-Hoon Lee from the button. Santhosh Suvarna and Jonathan Pastore also came along from the blinds and the five players were dealt a flop of 4♥A♣10♣.

The action then checked to Vito, who made a small bet of 17,000 chips. Lee made the call before Suvarna went all in for 146,000. The action folded back to Vito, who put in the call. Lee mulled it over for a bit but ended up folding his cards, leading to a heads up showdown.

Santhosh Suvarna: Q♣4♣
Enzo Vito: A♥5♥

Suvarna's flush draw came in on the 3♣ turn and the 6♣ river brought him a bonus out. He more than doubled up, but is still the shallowest stack on the table.

Jaros Cracks Bogdanov's Aces

Josh Noy

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Patrik Jaros raised from middle position and was called by Selahaddin Bedir in the small blind. Yulian Bogdanov then three-bet from the big blind to 45,500.

Jaros called while Bedir folded before the dealer revealed the J♥4♦3♦ flop. Bogdanov led out for 35,500 and Jaros called to the K♦ turn.

Bogdanov slowed down with a check, calling when Jaros fired 80,000 into the middle. The 2♦ river put four diamonds on board and both players check before the hands were turned up.

Bogdanov showed A♣A♥, while Jaros turned up 2♠2♣ for a rivered set to claim the pot.

Patrik Jaros	765,000 115,000	115,000

Lin "Coolered" Out of the Tournament

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Giuliano Bendinelli, Ren Lin, and Ben Heath had created a pot of 120,000 when they arrived on the turn on 3♣5♠6♣7♣. Bendinelli bet 50,000 from the big blind before Lin min-raised to 100,000 from the hijack. Heath quickly folded his button before Bendinelli shoved all in, covering Lin's stack.

Lin lamented his situation, but eventually made the call, declaring the hand a cooler and complimenting his opponent's hand before a showdown had taken place.

Ren Lin: J♠4♦
Giuliano Bendinelli: A♣8♣

Lin's straight was drawing dead to the nut flush of Bendinelli, and he stood up and left before the Q♠ river completed the board.

Bohdanov Barrels the Turn

Josh Noy

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joakim Andersson opened to 10,000 from middle position and saw calls from Viktor Blom in the small blind and Renat Bohdanov in the big blind.

All three players checked the 9♣Q♦6♠ flop, with Blom and Bohdanov checking again after the 10♠ turn.

Andersson slid out a bet of 25,000, producing folds from both opponents to take it down.

Viktor Blom	415,000 -23,000	-23,000

Four-Bet Goes Wrong for Lin

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ren Lin open-raised from middle position before the action folded to Arturo Paduano in the big blind, who made a three-bet to 33,000.

Not enough for Lin, who four-bet to 60,000. Paduano then spent a few minutes in the tank before shoving all in, covering Lin's stack of 396,000.

"I think I dominate you," claimed Lin, while folding his A♠6♦ face-up.

However, Paduano was kind enough to table his A♥K♥ to show Lin that was not quite the case.

Ren Lin	336,000 -104,000	-104,000
