Lin Gets the Hot Seat to Bust Gao
A table move was insufficient to get Shi Qiang Lin out of the hot seat, with the Chinese player moving to table one over on the feature podium. Wenling Gao probably wishes he'd stayed where he was previously, with Lin sending her to the rail after the pair clashed in a blind on blind confrontation.
We picked up the action on a flop of 
after Gao moved all-in from the small blind over the top of a Lin bet. The Chinese player decided to roll the dice and made the call and the cards were turned over.
Shi Qiang Lin: 
Wenling Gao: 
Gao held a slender lead with top pair against the open-ended straight draw of Lin, and while he didn't hit that, running diamonds on the 
turn and 
river gave him a backdoor flush to bring Gao's Main Event run to an end, while Lin stacked up to 730,000 with 68 players remaining.
