An Hero Call Before Dinner

Livello 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player opened in middle position to 10,000 and the cutoff called as well as Maureen Bloechlinger in the small blind and the big blind.

On the flop 4♦8♦10♣, the open raiser bet 25,000 and only the cutoff called.
On the turn 4♣, he made it to 44,000 and his opponent called after a while.
On the river 5♦, it was a third barrel all in for 98,500. Cutoff had a decision and ended up to call with 7♣7♦.
Enough to knockout his opponent who held A♥J♣.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Maureen Bloechlinger	80,000 45,000	45,000
Katie Swift	50,000 7,000	7,000
Anthony Askey	45,000

Lin Strong Enough to Get a Knockout, Too Strong to Double Up

Livello 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With an early position player all in for his last remaining chip, Daewoong Song, who finished 19th in yesterday's $800 deep stack event, raised. Thida Lin quickly placed her 110,000 chips in a phalanx in front of her, trying to lure Song into a call, but he folded.

Early Position: Q♣4♠
Thida Lin: A♠A♦

The 6♠5♣2♣ flop provided a little bit of a sweat, but the 10♣ turn and 2♥ river dashed the early position player's chip-and-a-chair dreams.

"I tried to look strong, so you would think I was weak," Lin explained to Song, "But you didn't bite."

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Daewoong Song	202,000 202,000	202,000
Thida Lin	115,000 115,000	115,000
