Lin Spikes the River
Level 13
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
George Mitri opened to 12,000 in the hijack before Peter Lin moved all in for 89,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Mitri, who took some time before making the call.
Peter Lin: A♦2♦ 
George Mitri: A♠J♦
"They're suited," said another player at the table as Lin saw he was behind to begin the hand. The 3♠6♦8♣ flop seemed to provide no help, but the 7♦ turn brought Lin a diamond draw.
Lin clapped as the dealer turned over the Q♦ river, completing his flush and earning the double up.
