APT High Roller (200,000 PHP)

Xin Ann Lim opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Alexander Lynskey three-bet the button to 275,000. Lim called.

They went to a flop of Q♥ 6♦ 7♠ where Lim led out with a bet of 150,000, which Lysnkey called to the 8♠ turn. Lim kept up the aggression with a bet of 375,000, which Lynskey called.

A 4♦ landed on the river and Lim unloaded a third bet into the pot of 275,000. Lynskey riffled his chips for a while and used some extra time before he shipped his stack into the pot. Lim had around 600,000 behind and rechecked his cards as he leaned back in his chair, pondering his decision.

A towering stack belonging to Lim was pushed into the pot, but it wasn't chips. Instead, all of his time-bank cards were moved in while Lim mulled it over. Lim needed just a few 30-second extensions before he finally made a decision, and called.

Lynskey then showed Q♠ 5♠ for a rivered straight, which beat the 7♥ 7♦ of Lim, who had flopped a set.

What a pot for Lynskey, but disaster for Lim who becomes the final table bubble boy.

Big blind Xin Ann Lim and Chaoui Mehdi on the button were staring at a flop of 9♦ 7♦ 2♠ with a pot of 260,000 beside it.

Lim acted first and bet out 80,000, and Mehdi raised to 220,000. Lim then took a moment before he called to see a Q♦ on the turn. Lim tapped his option over to Mehdi, who bet out 80,000. When it was Lim's turn, he re-popped to 220,000. Mehdi tanked and folded, having a taste of his own medicine.

Xin Ann Lim opened to 35,000 from under the gun and Yuji Yaginuma shoved from the next seat for 167,000. When the action got back to Lim, he called.

Yuji Yaginuma: A♠ Q♠

Xin Ann Lim: A♦ K♣

Yaginuma found himself dominated, and couldn't get any help from the 9♣ 3♣ 8♦ 7♦ 5♦ runout, which meant the was eliminated just shy of the money.
