Lin Hits Miracle River to Stay Alive
Niveau 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Ren Lin was at risk for 128,000 against Jean-Noel Thorel.
Ren Lin: A?8?
Jean-Noel Thorel: K?10?
Lin was ahead with his ace-high but the K?9?2? flop left him drawing thin. The 8? hit the turn, giving Thorel a flush draw to go along with his pair of kings, and pairing Lin's eight. The 8? river was one of the cards Lin was looking for though as he improved to trip eights to collect the double.
