Lin With Top Pair
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yi Lin raised to 4,000 from middle position, and Michael Lopatniuk to his left was the only one to call.
Both players agreed on a check on 8♠5♠3♦. But after the dealer revealed the turn 8♦, Lin bet 3,500. Lopatniuk didn't back down and called. But there was no more action on the river K♠, as both players checked.
First player to show his cards, Lin flipped K♦Q♦ for a pair hit on the river. Enough to win, as Lopatniuk mucked his cards.
