Fournier & Lin Tangle Again; Hulme Picking Up Pots
Jianwei Lin raised to 200,000 from the button and once again, Alexandre Fournier moved all in over Lin's open. Harry Lodge folded in the big blind to put the action back on Lin. The latter once again returned his cards to the dealer, showing the A♥ as he conceded the pot.
Lin asked Fournier to see one, and despite some reluctance, Fournier allowed Lin to see both, with his 7♦7♣ being turned over for all to see.
Andrew Hulme had a quiet opening level to Day 6, and he was one of the short stack entering the break. He's picked up some momentum after busting Jose Barbosa earlier on, dragging in consecutive pots.
Hulme made it 200,000 from under the gun and saw Marius-Catalin Pertea call from the big blind. Pertea check-folded to a bet of 180,000 on the J♠8♦2♣ flop. On the next deal, Hulme defended his big blind after Lodge opened to 200,000. The 8♦7♦2♠ flop checked through to the 6♦ turn. Hulme led out for 180,000, which forced his compatriot out of the pot.
