Linde Will Take This Outcome

Remko Rinkema

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We just picked up the action on a flop when Dylan Linde was all in for 27,900 chips from the big blind against two opponents. The action was on Artem Metalidi, in early position, and he had 7,600 invested when he decided to call Linde's shove.

Senh Ung, the third player involved, sat on the button with 7,600 invested and he opted to make the call as well.

Linde patiently awaited his fate as the hand was checked down between Metalidi and Ung on the turn and the river.

Linde showed , Metalidi showed and Ung mucked, meaning the pot would get split between the two king-ten hands.

"Ok," Linde said with a hint of surprise in his voice, "I'll take it."

"Not bad," he later added, as he profited nicely on the hand despite only chopping the pot.

Senh Ung	120,000 44,000	44,000
