Our day’s entering third rank player Kai Paulsen won a small pot with his uncalled raise but a few hands after, he earned a heftier one against Austin Walton, then gave some up to Shyh Chyn Lim.
With action folding to the small blind Kai, he limped in and Walton checked. On the flop Q♠ Q♣[9h}, Paulsen led for 10k and was matched by Walton. On the 8♣ turn, it was checked but on the J♣ river, it was back to betting with Paulsen sliding out 23k. He won the pot with no challenge.
Now in the button position, Paulsen raised to 26k and Lim defended on the big blind. At the flop K♠ 6♦ 10♠, and 7♦ turn, no bets came. On the 6♠ river, Lim fired out 45k and took it down with Paulsen folding.
