Lie Spikes an Ace; Junker Survives a Flip
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tobias Peters raised to 5,500 on the button and Francisco Benitez called in the small blind. Aylar Lie then moved all in for 45,000 in the big blind and only Peters called.
Aylar Lie: A?J?
Tobias Peters: K?K?
Lie had run into Peters' kings with her tournament life on the line, but the 6?A?J? flop gave her the lead with two pair. The board ran out 2?6? and Lie doubled up.
At the same time at another table, Ren Lin raised to 5,000 under the gun before Axel Junker moved all in for 32,000. "Merry Christmas, my friend," Lin said before calling.
Axel Junker: A?10?
Ren Lin: 3?3?
Junker also hit an ace on the 4?A?J? flop, while the rest of the board came 6?4? to secure his double up.
"Ay, ay, ay. Gamble too much," Lin said as he handed over the pot.
