Korzinin Snatches Chip Lead from Lin
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 12,000 under the gun. Vladimir Korzinin tossed in a three-bet to 39,000 in the hijack and Ren Lin called cold on the button. Kuznetsov mucked his cards as the other two players went to a flop of A♠8♣J♣.
Korzinin bet 67,000 and Lin called. On the 2♣ turn, Korzinin sized down to 55,000, which Lin also called. The 4♦ river then saw him check.
Lin used a couple of time banks before announcing his all-in. Korzinin snap-called for his stack of 174,000.
Lin tabled A♦K♠ for top pair but it was no good against the flopped set of Korznin, who showed J♥J♦ as he raked in the huge pot and became the new chip leader.
