Lin Takes Out Wang
Shi Qiang Lin played both Day 1a and Day 1b of this Main Event, but couldn't find a bag at the end of each. However, he would make it through the turbo Day 1c flight, and his Day 2 couldn't have kicked off better.
Picking up the action on a flop, Lin checked to his sole opponent Yin Wang and Wang led for 13,000 into the 25,500 pot. Lin then check-raised to 35,000, and after a minute or so of thinking Wang moved all in for somewhere around 55,000. Lin made the call.
Lin:
Wang:
Wang had the best of it with his overpair, but Lin had plenty of outs: any heart or king would do it. He improved instantly on the turn, and the river couldn't improve Wang's hand. He took a photo of the board and made his exit, while Lin now stacks up with 184,000.
