Lin Finds an Ace to Crack Hook's Kings
Level 29
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Luke Martinelli raised to 2,500,000 with 10♠8♠ from early position, which was called by Charles Hook in the hijack. It then folded to the small blind Ren Lin, who three-bet to 18,500,000, leaving just 700,000 behind.
It folded back around to Martinelli who folded as well, before Hook quickly four-bet to put Lin all in, which he called.
Ren Lin: A♦Q♦
Charles Hook: K♥K♣
Hook set the trap and Lin walked right into it, but the A♣6♣4♥ flop quickly put Lin into the lead. The 2♣ on the turn gave Hook extra outs as he picked up a flush draw, but he couldn't find any help as the 3♠ on the river secured Lin the double up.
