Lin Busts Third Bullet During Final Hands

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

James Chen raised to 40,000 from the hijack before Ren Lin made it 120,000 to go from the button. Chen then put in a four-bet to 250,000 and Lin made the call.

On the 5♦K♦7♠ flop, Chen continued for 135,000 before Lin shoved all in for his final 450,000 or so chips. Chen snap called and the cards went on their backs.

Ren Lin: 8♣7♣
James Chen: A♦A♣

Chen's overpair was still in the lead, but Lin had some outs left in the deck. However, none arrived on the 10♣6♦ runout and Lin was one of the final players eliminated from the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas checked the 2♦Q♣9♣ flop in the big blind and called when Alexandra Botez fired 45,000 into the middle.

The 3♥ turn saw Angelou-Konstas check again, snap-calling when Botez moved all in for around 150,000.

Alexandra Botez: K♥J♣
Ioannis Angelou-Konstas: Q♠9♦

Botez was drawing thin after her bluff was called, with the 9♥ only improving Angelou-Konstas to a full house. Botez wished the table good luck, hitting the rail late in the final level of Day 1.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Brewer's last chips were already in the middle and he was called in two spots. Niklas Astedt then made a bet on the 3♠2♠8♥2♣ board to force the other player out of the pot and a showdown was had.

Chris Brewer: A♥3♦
Niklas Astedt: 7♠7♣

The 8♠ river upgraded both players' hands, but Astedt's two pair remained superior, seding Brewer to the exit in the final level of Day 1.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hyunsup Kim open-raised from the cutoff and Jerry Odeen put in a three-bet from the button. The action folded back to Kim, who four-bet jammed for 915,000. Odeen immediately called with the covering stack and the players showed down.

Hyunsup Kim: A♦Q♦
Jerry Odeen: J♠J♥

Odeen won the flip when the board remained clean for his jack with 7♣4♣6♣5♦10♠. He soared to two million in chips while Kim headed for the exit for the second time tonight.

Level 12 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei and James Chen were heads up on a completed board of 4♣J♠7♠K♠5♦. With around 300,000 chips in the pot, Rezaei checked to Chen from the big blind, who made a bet of 250,000 from middle position.

Rezaei mulled it over for a while before putting in the call, only leaving 45,000 chips behind. Chen then tabled 6♠5♠ and his two pair was good enough to win the massive pot.

Rezaei would put his final few blinds in the next hand, but to no avail, as he exited the tournament area shortly after, joining many other notable names on the sidelines for now.

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer only had 39,000 chips remaining, and he put them all in from the button. Gab Yong Kim was sitting in the big blind and made the call.

Felipe Ketzer: K♥J♦
Gab Yong Kim: 10♠4♠

The flop of J♣8♠A♣ saw Ketzer flop a pair and Kim was left with only runner-runner outs at his disposal. The 4♠ turn brought Kim a plethora of outs, however.

The 9♥ river completed one of his straight draws, and Ketzer laughed with Kim while he gave his remaining chips to his opponent and headed out of the tournament area.

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ian Bradley raised to 25,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 75,000 from Tamas Adamszki in the hijack. The action folded back to Bradley, who made the call.

On the 5♣8♠2♣ flop, Bradley checked and Adamszki made a bet of 55,000. Bradley called and the 7♣ turn was put on the table.

Bradley checked again before Adamszki put out a massive bet of 230,000. Bradley pondered for a bit before making another call, and the Q♥ river subsequently completed the board.

Bradley checked for a third time and Adamszki went all in, covering Bradley's 550,000 remaining just by a small margin. Bradley spent several minutes in the tank before putting in the call for his tournament life

Adamszki tabled his A♣3♣ for the nuts, while Bradley's hero call with 6♠5♠ for middle pair failed. He quickly sought the exit while Adamszki stacked his new chips and became the chipleader of the tournament.
