Bruel Gets Saved by the River to Take a Bite out of Lin
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ren Lin opened 10,000 under the gun and Patrick Bruel called next to act before Patrik Antonius came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K♦6♥3♥, and Antonius check-folded while Bruel called the bet of 15,000 from Lin.
The Q♦ fell on the turn and Lin dropped four quarters across the line for a bet of 100,000. Bruel snap-called his stack of 83,000 and both hands were tabled.
Patrick Bruel: K♥J♠
Ren Lin: A♦A♣
Bruel was overwhelmed with disappointment as Lin showed his hand but his mood changed quite quickly as the J♦ landed on the river, jumping out of his chair with a cheer.
