Hamlet Gains, Then Loses Ground
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Octavio Borra raised to 500,000 in early position, and Kyle Lin made the call in the cutoff. Brandon Hamlet announced all in from the big blind, sliding in his stack of 4,700,000.
Borra did not take long to fold, while Lin slid his cards to the dealer and Hamlet picked up the pot.
The next hand saw Hamlet limp in the small blind, and Borra checked his big blind option. Both players declined to bet the K♣4♥3♣ flop, and Hamlet led out for 250,000 on the A♦ turn.
Borra called, and the 2♠ river saw Hamlet fire again for 600,000. Borra replied with a raise to 1,350,000, earning the pot as Hamlet folded.
