button in SafariLin Sends Out Hu During Meteoric Ascent
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jinlong Hu raised to 17,000 in the cutoff, and Ren Lin called on the button. Yonatan Koko then defended his bid bling, and the trio went to the 9♦8♠2♦ flop.
Koko checked, Hu bet 45,000, and Lin called. Koko got out of the way, after which Hu sized up 115,000 on the K♥ turn. Lin stuck around with another call, seeing Hu slow down and check the J♥ river.
Lin then moved all in, putting Hu at risk for 345,000. Hu eventually called off, tabling 10♠10♣ for third pair. However, his hero call would not pay off, as Lin had flopped a set with 8♥8♣ and raked in yet another massive pot.
