Level 27 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Wooyang Lin opened to 300,000 from the hijack. Soukha Kachittavong three-bet to 1,300,000 from the big blind, and Lin shoved with a covering stack. Kachittavong, who had just 90,000 behind, snap-called.

Wooyang Lin: 9♦9♠

The A♠A♦3♥8♥8♣ runout gave Kachittavong top-boat to double through Lin, who was left with less than ten big blinds.
