Lin Gets Paid on Massive River Bet

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Helmut Phung raised to 7,500 on the button before Jianwei Lin three-bet to 23,000 in the big blind. Phung called and they saw a flop of 958.

Lin continued for 16,500 and Phung called. The turn was the J and Lin bet another 45,000. Phung again called and the 8 fell on the river.

Lin then bet 125,000 and Phung spent several minutes in the tank before tossing in a chip to signify a call. Lin turned over JJ for a set and Phung mucked.

This table, which also includes start-of-day chip leader Samy Barka, Monika Zukowicz, and Stanislav Tishkevich, had spent the early part of the day on the main feature stage before moving back into the main tournament area at the break.
