Garbi Backdoors a Flush to Stack Lin
Ren Lin opened from the hijack and picked up two callers in Ravid Garbi from the small blind & the big blind.
The flop came 6♥3♣5♦, and when the action got to Lin, he fired out a continuation-bet of 20,000. Garbi called and the big blind folded.
A 4♦ landed on the turn and again Garbi decided to switch up his strategy by leading for 16,000. Lin stuck around to see the 2♦ put a straight on board, then Garbi shoved. Lin had around 40,000 behind and didn't like the spot he was in.
"Ay ay ay, pocket sevens my friend?" Lin said to Garbi.
Eventually, Lin did stick his chips in and Garbi showed that he backdoored a flush with 9♦8♦. Lin initially mucked, but was forced to show his hand and the dealer revealed 8♥4♣.
It's not all doom and gloom for Lin, though, as he bought right back in and has a fresh stack of 100,000 to play with.
