David Lin: XxXx / 2x - folded on third street

David Lin called as did Nikolay Ponomarev before David Stamm completed. Andrew Yeh raised, folding out Lin. Ponomarev called and then three-bet. Lin and Ponomarev called.

Yeh bet on fourth and fifth street, with Ponomarev and Stamm calling both bets. The latter was all-in for his last 7,000 on fifth.

Ponomarev check-folded to a bet on sixth street for cards to go on their back.

Unfortunately for Stamm, Yeh had a wheel on fifth street to seal the checkmark with seventh street being just a formality.

As Stamm left, he said he was happy with his performance, getting further than he'd have thought and had a lot of fun along the way.

“You can raise, call, or fold,” Pescatori responded.

“Thanks for your input, Max,” Steicke replied somewhat snarkily, “but that wasn’t exactly the question I asked” or words to that effect. He then called.

Fourth street was checked around before Steicke led out on fifth. Pescatori folded, Pauli called, and then let it go to another bet from Steicke on sixth.
