Bet, Bet, Bet from Vogelsang

Level 22 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang limped in from the small blind with {8-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Chin Wei Lim checked his option holding {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The flop came {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Vogelsang led out for 2,000,000. Lim called and the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Vogelsang burned through a time extension before announcing a bet of 6,400,000. Lim had a decision to make after picking up a flush draw and eventually made the call. The river was the {2-Spades} and Vogelsang moved out a bet of 13,100,000, leaving just 100,000 behind. Lim asked for a count while Vogelsang hid his face but Lim made the right laydown.

Double Up for Lim Puts Him in the Lead

Level 21 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

The action folded to Chin Wei Lim in the small blind who ripped all in for 22,700,000. Tony G looked down at his cards in the big blind and quickly called to put Lim at risk.

Chin Wei Lim: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Tony G: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The flop of {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs} gave Lim a pair of jacks to take the lead. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Tony G was left drawing to one of two remaining nines. The river was the {8-Diamonds} as Tony G nearly thought he made it on the river. He was forced to send over a good portion of his stack and Lim jumped into the lead.

James Chen made it 4,500,000 to go in the small blind with {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Christoph Vogelsang called from the big blind with {q-Spades}{2-Spades}. The flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} hit the felt and Chen continued for 3,000,000. Vogelsang called after making bottom pair.

James Chen pushed all in for 13,400,000 and Christoph Vogelsang called in the cutoff. Tony G in the big blind folded the {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Chen was off to the races for his tournament life.

Christoph Vogelsang: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop improved Chen to the top two pair and the {6-Hearts} turn was a blank, as was the {7-Hearts} on the river.

James Chen open-shoved the button for 7,500,000 and Chin Wei Lim called out of the big blind.

James Chen: {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Chin Wei Lim: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop gave Chen second pair and Lim needed running eights, queens or a jack to improve. Nothing changed with the {3-Hearts} turn and the {3-Spades} river was a blank, too.
