Baraza Essentially Doubles Through Yin

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yuzhou Yin raised to 100,000 in the hijack and Juan Baraza defended his big blind. On a K♦10♥6♠ flop, both players opted to check before Baraza bet the 9♦ turn for 100,000, Yin called.

The 7♣ river saw Baraza bet 220,000 with one T-25,000 chip behind and Yin took off his sunglasses to study the board carefully. After some 90 seconds, he tossed in a single chip for the call but couldn't beat the 8♥7♥ of Baraza.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 100,000 and Dongwuk Moon called from the big blind.

The flop was 4♦10♣5♠ and Moon checked. Martirosian fired 75,000 but Moon made it 350,000. Not to be out done, Martirosian fired back with 850,000. However, Moon had other plans and he jammed the rest of his stack. That was too much for Martirosian and he gave up the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artur Martirosian tangled with Yuzhou Yin, the latter of which was in the big blind. Yin check-called a bet on the 9♦5♣3♦ flop and they checked the Q♦ turn. Yin bet the 6♠ river for 220,000 and Martirosian raised to 660,000 for his opponent to fold.

In the last hand of the level, Martirosian then raised to 100,000 and John Armbrust all but grinned in the big blind. He checked his cards and moved all-in for 165,000, Martirosian called.

"I was just debating if I should look at the cards to sweat the all-in," Armbrust joked as he was never considering folding.

John Armbrust: 9♥8♠
Artur Martirosian: A♦Q♣

The undercards got there on the 8♥7♣3♣K♠4♥ runout and Armbrust doubled.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Oktay Koeysu had just lost a three-bet pot to Yuzhou Yin and then faced the open raise worth 80,000 by Dongwuk Moon on the button. Koeysu three-bet jammed for 890,000 and Artur Martirosian then went all-in over the top to send Moon into a frenzy.

Moon sigh-folded and mentioned he had pocket tens.

Oktay Koeysu: A♥Q♥
Artur Martirosian: K♠K♥

The 10♦8♣3♣6♦5♣ board sent Koeysu to the rail in 10th place and the final nine players will redraw to the unofficial final table.

The board ran out A♥5♥6♥A♣10♠ and Yin made aces full of tens to send Meng off in 11th place for $6,350.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dongwuk Moon raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Yuzhou Yin called in the small blind, table short stack John Armbrust also called in the big blind as well.

The 8♥6♥2♣ flop was checked to Moon and he eyeballed the stack of Yin before moving all-in. Yin folded and so did Armstrong.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yuzhou Yin opened to 80,000 and Yuval Bronshtein then three-bet to 180,000 with 15,000 behind in the very next seat. It folded back to Yin and he moved all-in, Bronshtein called.

Yuval Bronshtein: K♠Q♣
Yuzhou Yin: 9♦9♥

The 7♣6♠3♠ flop and 10♦ turn kept Bronshtein with some hope but he bricked the 7♠ river. Coming up short of the eight-handed official final table, he misses out on the $25,000 bonus by GGPoker for now.

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Oktay Koeysu raised to 110,000 and then exposed his A♦10♦ already, thinking he had won the blinds and ante. He then realised that Sunghak Lee in the big blind was still to act and sighed.

"Second time already, oh man," he said. Lee inquired if the hand was live and shall continue, which was the case. Lee called and they checked the J♠9♣4♦ flop. On the J♣ turn, Lee checked and Koeysu bet 200,000 to win the pot.

He then received a two hand penalty for prematurely exposing the cards.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sunghak Lee	1,665,000 -90,000	-90,000
Oktay Koeysu	1,200,000 300,000	300,000
