APT High Roller - Final Day - PHP 15,000,000 GTD

Xin Ann Lim

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 diaster for Lim who becomes the final table bubble boy.
