Lin Muscles a Pot to Soar Over 10 Million

Dan O'Hair

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ren Lin and Jorge Ramella were heads-up on a 9♣4♥7♠ flop with over a million in the pot already.

Ramella checked from the hijack and Lin bet 350,000. Ramella called.

The 7♣ came on the turn and Ramella checked again. Lin put his "No Gamble No Future" patch into the middle before announcing he was all in, which was enough to put Ramella all in for just over two million.

Ramella tossed his hand into the muck and Lin collected the pot without showing.

Daniel Drommel opened to 250,000 on the button and was called by Andreas Berggren in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 8♠4♣A♣ flop and then Berggren led out for 230,000 after the J♠ fell on the turn.

Drommel tanked a bit before announcing a raise to 950,000 and Berggren let his hand go, conceding the pot to Drommel.

Immediately after taking down a hand preflop with A♥K♥, Francesco Macri was in the big blind and called a 200,000 open from Gabriel Nedelcu, who was under the gun.

Macri checked to Nedelcu on the A♦7♠4♣ flop and he continued for 165,000. Macri immediately check-raised to 700,000 and Nedelcu let his hand go after a bit of thought.
