Marques Goes Back to the Same Well

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tom Orpaz "misclicked" with a limp from under the gun and Ren Lin raised it up in middle position. Andre Marques shoved all in for 610,000 on the button which got Orpaz to fold but Lin quickly called.

Andre Marques: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Ren Lin: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Marques doubled up with hardly any sweat.

Orpaz Pays Off Lin

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 150,000 in early position and Tom Orpaz defended from the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Orpaz check-called a bet of 125,000 from Lin.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Orpaz checked blind for the second street in a row. Lin fired out a bet of 250,000 and Orpaz called to see the {2-Spades} on the river.

Orpaz checked for the third time and Lin moved all in for 695,000 without saying anything for the first time all day. Orpaz leaned back in his chair before sliding out the chips to call.

"I'm a fish, I call," Orpaz announced.

"I know," was Lin's response as he got a laugh from the table. Lin tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush while Orpaz could only muster two pair with {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Garagnani Doubles Through Mokri

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pedro Garagnani jammed for the last 305,000 from an early position and was called by Kayhan Mokri in the big blind.

Pedro Garagnani: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Kayhan Mokri: {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Neither player connected with the {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} board and Garagnani doubled to stay in contention. He then also got another open-shove through to chip up further.

A Few Small Pots at a Glance

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Andre Marques opened to 120,000 from under the gun and then faced a three-bet to 280,000 by Pablo Navarro. He inquired about the stack size of his opponent and used one time bank extension before folding.

Marques defended the big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Mauricio Ferreira Pais and the {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop went check, check. Marques bet the {2-Clubs} turn for 170,000 and won the pot uncontested.

Kayhan Mokri min-raised next for Ferreira Pais to come along out of the big blind. That produced a {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop on which Ferreira Pais check-folded to a continuation bet.

Ferreira Pais Outkicks Lin

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 200,000 in early position and Mauricio Ferreira Pais three-bet to 600,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Lin who four-bet shoved all in and Ferreira Pais instantly called off his stack of 1,035,000.

Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Ren Lin: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Ferreira Pais was in a dominating lead and held on to that throughout the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} board to score a double-up.

Navarro Doubles to a Big Stack

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Pablo Navarro
Pablo Navarro

Pablo Navarro in middle position and Ren Lin clashed to unleash the most classic of races in the following showdown.

Pablo Navarro: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Ren Lin: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Lin had found his trademark "Lady Gaga" but it was Navarro who came out on top on the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board on which he made a full house. Navarro then also won the next hand post flop to become the current chip leader by a small margin.

Nobody Wants to Bust

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ren Lin pushed his short stack of 295,000 into the middle and the action was on Mauricio Ferreira Pais in the small blind.

"If he doesn't call, I'll call blind," Pablo Navarro said in the big blind before the dealer interrupted that there shouldn't be any talking that influences the action.

Ferreira Pais shoved all in and Navarro was forced to fold, leaving just two hands face up on the table.

Ren Lin: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and the double-pair on the board gave Lin a double-up, that not all players at the table saw.

"I don't understand how he wins," Tom Orpaz piped up before the dealer explained.

"I'm playing with a bunch of people who don't even know the rules," Kayhan Mokri chimed in.

Mokri And Ferreira Pais Take From Orpaz

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised from under the gun to 160,000 and was called by Tom Orpaz in the big blind. On a {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Orpaz check-called for 80,000 and that led them to the {9-Diamonds} turn. Both now checked and Orpaz quickly grabbed into his stack on the {2-Hearts} river before betting 250,000.

Mokri used two time banks and called for Orpaz to declare "you win". He was shown the {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} by Mokri and mucked his cards, declaring he had flopped a straight and flush draw.

Shortly thereafter, Mauricio Ferreira Pais was the preflop aggressor in the cutoff and Orpaz came along out of the small blind. The {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop was checked and Orpaz bet the {7-Hearts} turn for 125,000, picking up a call from Ferreira Pais.

Following the {2-Clubs} river, Orpaz bet another 150,000 and Ferreira Pais tossed in a single chip for the call. Orpaz announced a nine before showing {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Ferreira Pais had that beat with {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens.

Chalk Another One Up for Lin

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Pablo Navarro was the big stack at the table and pushed all in from the cutoff. Ren Lin was in the big blind and wasted no time before sticking in his 670,000 chips.

Ren Lin: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Pablo Navarro: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Lin doubled up once more, much to the demise of the rest of the table who were looking for a pay jump.
