Lin Surrenders a Big Pot to Davenport, Takes Another From Wozniak

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 70,000 in the middle on a board of K1069, Jianwei Lin bet 55,000 from the button before Matthew Davenport moved all in for 155,000 in the hijack.

Lin tanked for several minutes before giving up his hand as Davenport took the big pot.

A few hands later at this table, Mateusz Wozniak raised to 5,500 in early position, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya called in the hijack, and Lin three-bet to 18,000 in the cutoff.

Both opponents called and the flop came JQ5. Lin continued for 20,000 and only Wozniak called. Both players checked the 6 turn.

The river was the 5 and Lin bet 95,000 this time. Wozniak gave it some thought before folding as Lin dragged in the chips.
