Lin and Markholt Thriving

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the heads-up turn reading {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Nick Petrangelo bet 1,800 in the small blind and Scott Margereson called on the button. The {K-Diamonds} river brought two checks and Petrangelo showed {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} as winning hand.

One table over, Lee Markholt and [Removed:17] tangled in a bigger pot with around 12,000 already in the middle. Markholt bet the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} turn for 3,800 once Yan had checked to him and the New Zealander called. The {5-Hearts} river completed the board and Yan checked once more. Markholt bet 7,400 and that was good enough to claim the pot without showdown.

Last but not least, PokerStars Team Pro Celina Lin sat down on the table of Iliodoros Kamatakis and won back-to-back hands to build her stack significantly.
