Linde Busted By Herm

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Dylan Linde, who open shoved in middle position for his last 47,000. Mark Herm, the player who entered the day with the chip lead, made the call on the button. The blinds got out of the way, and the two players tabled their cards.

Linde: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Herm: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Herm had Linde dominated, and he kept his big lead through the flop of {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The turn came the {8-Clubs}, giving Linde outs for a chopped pot as well as flush outs for the win. However, none of that came through as the river came the {5-Hearts}. Herm claimed the knockout, and his stack jumped up to 251,000.
