Lin Leaves in a Hurry
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Wei Lin raised to 50,000 in the hijack. It folded to big blind Xuan Liu in the big blind, who dropped a three-bet to 175,000 on the table. Lin called, and he called again when Liu continued for 160,000 on the 9♣7♥9♥ flop.
The J♣ then appeared on the turn. Liu sized up to 225,000, prompting Lin to jam all in for 460,000. Liu snap-called, and the players revealed their cards.
Wei Lin: K♥K♣
Xuan Liu: J♥J♦
Liu had absolutely drilled the turn, taking a massive lead over Lin's slow-played kings. The 4♠ river could not save Lin, who let out a frustrated groan before speed-walking his way out of the tournament room at near-Olympic speeds.
