Esposito Doubles Through Lin

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

While Merritt Kuhn was eliminated on another table, Xiang Lin opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff. John Esposito in the big blind three-bet jammed for 9,625,000, sending Lin deep into the tank.

Lin took several minutes to decide, prompting Martin Kabrhel to repeatedly ask him to hurry up. Another player eventually called the clock, and Lin put in the call with just seconds remaining.

John Esposito: 33 All in
Xiang Lin: K10

“Cowboys,” Lin said before switching his support to “any picture” as the dealer spread the flop of JA5. The 82 runout failed to improve Lin, and Esposito doubled up.

Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Amadeus Janotta
Amadeus Janotta

Action folded to Qiang Chau on the button who open-jammed all in for around 7,000,000. Amadeus Janotta sat in the small blind squeezed his cards and then four-bet all in and he had the table covered. The big blind folded quicker than a cheetah on caffeine.

Qiang Chau: A10 All in
Amadeus Janotta: KK

Chau loved the flop of AQ4 which sent him into the lead but his jubilation didn't last long when the K peeled off on the turn and gave Janotta a set. The A river just rubbed salt into the wound for Chau as it gave him trips but filled Janotta up and Chau was sent to the rail.

Holmes Drills the River to Send Siff Packing

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Michael Holmes made it 1,000,000 to play from early position only for Todd Siff to three-bet all in for 3,200,000.

Action came back to Holmes who went into the tank for a good while before he made the call to put Siff at risk.

Todd Siff: A10 All in
Michael Holmes: KJ

A nice flop for Siff of AQ9 arrived to send him further into the lead but now he didn't want to make two pairs. The 5 peeled off on the turn and changed nothing but when the poker gods donned their sickness cap to serve up the 10 as the river Holmes made his straight and Siff was sent to the rail in a brutal fashion.
