WARM-UP ($565)

On the bubble, after raising from the button, Tan Lining called J.C. Sayo’s all-in shove from the big blind, putting Sayo at risk.

J.C. Sayo: A♦ 7♥

Tan Lining: T♣ T♥

Lining’s pocket tens held firm as the board ran out 8♥ 5♣ K♠ K♣ 2♦, eliminating Sayo as the unfortunate bubble boy of Day 1B and bringing the first day of the Won Poker Cup III Warm-Up to a close.

Suya Lee shoved all-in from the cutoff and was put at risk when Tan Lining called from the big blind, taking both players to a showdown.

Suya Lee: A♥ 7♦

Tan Lining: A♦ J♣

The flop came 2♠ A♠ A♣, giving both players trips, but Lining held the superior kicker. The turn brought the 3♣, and the river 5♦ changed nothing. With no improvement, Lee was eliminated just short of reaching the money and qualifying for the final day.

Tan Lining raised to 8,000, prompting Santiago Ramos to shove all-in. Lining, at risk, made the call and they went to showdown.

Tan Lining: A♥ 9♣

Santiago Ramos: 8♣ 8♥

Lining paired his nine on the flop to edge ahead of Ramos’ pocket eights. The A♣ on the turn solidified his lead with top pair, securing the double-up. The river came 6♣, and the dealer pushed the pot in Lining’s direction.
