Lin "Coolered" Out of the Tournament
Level 7
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Giuliano Bendinelli, Ren Lin, and Ben Heath had created a pot of 120,000 when they arrived on the turn on 3♣5♠6♣7♣. Bendinelli bet 50,000 from the big blind before Lin min-raised to 100,000 from the hijack. Heath quickly folded his button before Bendinelli shoved all in, covering Lin's stack.
Lin lamented his situation, but eventually made the call, declaring the hand a cooler and complimenting his opponent's hand before a showdown had taken place.
Ren Lin: J♠4♦
Giuliano Bendinelli: A♣8♣
Lin's straight was drawing dead to the nut flush of Bendinelli, and he stood up and left before the Q♠ river completed the board.
