All the Hearts for Hailu
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yesusera Hailu was all in for his last 8,000 from under the gun, and Michael Linster made the call in the cutoff. Lingkun Lu then three-bet to 22,000 on the button, and Linster took some time before announcing all in.
Lu let his hand go, giving Linster the side pot while Hailu was at risk heads up.
Yesusera Hailu: Q♥J♠ 
Michael Linster: A♦K♠
Linster increased his advantage by hitting a pair on the K♥2♥5♠ flop, while Hailu picked up a flush draw on the 5♥ turn. That draw was promptly completed with the 8♥ river, staying alive while earning a triple-up.
