Ren Lin

Ren Lin raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Konstantinos Ioannidis three-bet to 6,200 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Lin called.

Lin checked the 5103 flop, Ioannidis bet 4,800 and Lin check-shoved for 26,600. Ioannidis snap-called to put Lin at risk.

Ren Lin: 64 All in
Konstantinos Ioannidis: AA

Ioannidis was ahead with aces, but Lin had a straight draw. Lin received instant service on the 2 turn, giving him the nuts and leaving Ioannidis drawing dead as an inconsequential 8 came on the river.
