JJ Liu Doubles Through Mike Linster

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

JJ Liu limped in from the hijack and Mike Linster raised to 825 from the cutoff. Layne Flack called from the big blind before Liu reraised to 2,500. Only Linster called to see the flop come down {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Liu bet 5,000, Linster raised, and Liu called all in for 12,100.

Liu: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Linster: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river were no help to Linster, giving the pot to Liu.
