Lingham Continues to Climb

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Paul Jager opened to 12,000 from the hijack and was called by Vinny Lingham on the button, Dimitar Danchev in the small blind, and Andrew Lichtenberger in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Everyone checked on the 109Q flop and it was checked to Jager, who bet 18,000 on the J turn. Lingham and Danchev called, but Lichtenberger folded.

The 9 completed the board and Lingham bet 75,000 after being checked to. Both Jager and Danchev let their hands go and Lingham collected the pot without showing.

"I'm very sad I didn't open my queen-nine under the gun," Rania Nasreddine chimed in.
