Most often, preflop raise wars usually mean all ins and big big hands….. as in the case in this hand. Action began with Kevin Park raising to 2500. Two seats over, Andrew Gaw three-bet to 6300. Then action folded to Ben Martin who four-bet to 18,500. This was enough for Park to step away from and give Gaw the action. Gaw made it 38,500. Martin responded with a push and Gaw was not going anywhere as he quickly called. Gaw had A♠[ad} and Martin had A♥ K♣. The board ran J♥ Q♥ 5♠ Q♠ 5♣ and Gaw won a big double up. Gaw climed to over 160k chips.
Linh Tran and Naruyasu Ota were both all in on a board of Q♠ Q♣ 9♣ 10♣. Tran had 7♣ 6♣ flush however he was way behind Ota’s 10♠ 10♥ full house. The river card of 4♥ was inconsequential and Ota doubled up to almost 90k chips.
Lim Yo Hwan earned himself a nice pot against Azusa Maeda that seemed to shock the players at the table. Preflop action began with Maeda raising to 2k and was called by both Hwan and another player. At the flop of A♣ 4♥ 5♦, Maeda continued and bet 3k. Hwan called and the other player folded. At the turn of 2♣, both checked. On the river of K♣, Hwan initiated the betting by putting 7k in. Maeda called and Hwan showed his 7♣ 8♣ winning flush.
