Not The Best Run-Out For Lindell
Level 12: 1500/3000 (3000)
Entries: 136/346
Taivo Sillaste opened to 7,000 on 3k blinds from early position, and right behind him, Simon Edvard Lindell responded with a 3-bet to 17,000. Everyone else folded, setting up a heads-up battle on a flop of 10♦7♦10♠. Sillaste checked, and Lindell continued with a bet of 11,000, which Sillaste called.
The turn brought the 8♦, and both players checked, taking it to a tricky river for Lindell’s 3-bet range, the J♠. Sillaste seized the opportunity and fired a bold 26,000 bet, prompting Lindell to quickly fold. Sillaste picked up a nice pot as both players continue their fight for a coveted spot in Day 2.
Taivo Sillaste: 155,000
Simon Edvard Lindell: 135,000
Here you can see them both sitting next to each other – Sillaste on the left and Lindell on the right:
