Lin Drills the River to Survive
Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
John Morales opened to 100,000 from middle position before Weize Lin jammed for his remaining 393,000 from the big blind, and Morales snapped it off.
Weize Lin: A♠6♦
John Morales: A♣Q♦
Lin needed some help to survive with the dominated ace as the 8♣5♣2♥ flop changed little. The J♣ turn took away another out for Lin after Morales picked up the nut flush.
Lin was already out of his seat, but the standup equity worked wonders as the 6♠ landed on the river, leaving Lin the best hand as he survived in dramatic fashion.
