Lovgren Busts Sergeev, Sun Starts Shining

Sofia Lovgren has just brought Sergey Sergeev’s tournament to a close and we arrived just in time to see Lovgren stacking up her newly won chips with pocket queens face up on the felt in front of her, just a Sergreev was congratulating her on the hand and getting up to leave.

It does not look as though Sergeev is interested in firing the second bullet and he headed for the rail. One player who is on his second bullet is Sheng Sun and the Chinese player appears to be doing better than his first attempt.

We caught Sun involved in a hand with tablemate Ioannis Konstas in as a raising war developed between the two pre-flop. Konstas was the player in position and he had a bet of 3,300 out on the baize in front of him.

However, Sun had just raised again, sliding out a bet of 10,700 in total. Konstas mulled it over but wanted to see the flop and made up the difference to bring both players to the community cards.

The action stalled here with both players checking before Sun fired out a delayed c-bet of 9,500. Konstas called and the hit the river.

Sun reached for chips again, picking four yellow 5k chips off the top of his stack for a bet of 20,000 and though he looked sorely tempted Konstas eventually elected to let it go. That puts Sun up to 84400, while Konstas dropped to 33,375.
