Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

There was three-way action that saw a {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. Action was checked to the Sean Bishop who bet 8,000 into a 20,000 pot. Yijun Lin called from under the gun and David Meschel folded sitting to his left.

Lin check-called Bishop's 6,000 bet after the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn then lead out for 6,500 once the {q-Spades} fell on the river.

Bishop went into the tank for a few minutes before rising to 25,000 sending Lin into the tank. After a few more minutes, Lin three-bet to 64,500 sending Bishop back into his deep thoughts.

After a few minutes went by and a quick look at the table stack, Bishop mucked his hand and Lin showed the bluff {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}.
