Janotta Doubles Through Dwire

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Amadeus Janotta
Amadeus Janotta

Xiang Lin raised to 4,000,000 from the cutoff, only for Garrett Dwire, sat on the button, to three-bet to 12,000,000. Action was then on Amadeus Janotta, who went into the tank for a while before he four-bet all in for 17,500,000.

Lin thought about it for a while and checked to see how much Dwire had behind, but eventually released his hand to leave the other two to it.

Amadeus Janotta: AJ All in
Garrett Dwire: A6

Janotta had Dwire dominated, and apart from some sick outdraw, was looking good for a double-up and some.

Nothing changed on the 8A2 flop nor the 10 turn. The river bricked out with the 8 and Janotta was shipped the pot for a double-up and more.

Lin claimed that he would have sent Janotta home and taken 90% of Dwire's stack!

Xiang Lin: KK All in
Amadeus Janotta: A7

Once again, Lin cheered for his cowboys. They kept the lead all the way through a board of 10Q597, so he doubled up and took the chip lead of the final table.

Amadeus Janotta made it 3,200,000 to play from the cutoff and was looked up by Xiang Lin in the big blind.

On the 749 flop Lin check-called Janotta's 3,600,000 continuation-bet for the players to see the K peel off on the turn.

Janotta loaded up a second barrel of 9,000,000 and fired it out, Lin thought for a while and made the call.

Both players checked on the K river and both announced, "Two pair!".

Lin tabled 54 but was crushed by Janotta's Q9 and Janotta was pushed the pot.
