Aaron Lim

With 300,000 in the middle three-ways on a flop of Diamond ADiamond 10Diamond 6, Aaron Lim checks from the big blind to Li Jiang Liu who bets 150,000 from the cutoff. Takeshi Goto then raises to 330,000 on the button.

Goto’s raise is the exact amount of chips remaining in Lim’s stack and the Aussie elects to call. This prompts a fold from Liu, leaving Lim’s fate to Goto.

Aaron Lim: Diamond KHeart 9
Takeshi Goto: Diamond JDiamond 9

Goto already has a jack-high flush but he needs to fade another diamond that would give Lim a better flush to survive.

Unfortunately for Lim, the dealer completes the board with the Spade A and Spade 8, sending him to the rail.

Takeshi Goto – 1,500,000
Aaron Lim – eliminated
