Lin Wins a "50-50" Spot to Bust Savevski
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Hala Karam raised to 1,600 in middle position and Ren Lin called in the hijack. Ilija Savevski then three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff and Karam folded. Lin pretended to check his wallet before moving all in. "Pocket tens, please," he said to Savevski, who quickly called for 35,000.
Ilija Savevski: A♠Q♠ 
Ren Lin: K♣J♥
"Ah, 50-50," Lin added once the cards were revealed. The K♠9♣6♣ flop gave him the lead with top pair, while the rest of the board ran out 5♥J♣ and Lin improved to two pair to send Savevski to the rail.
"Gamble too much," Lin said as he took in the pot.
