Lin Leaves One Chip Back Before Busting

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 560,000 on the button and left himself just one chip behind before Jimmy Setna, in the big blind, pushed forward a stack of blue 100,000 chips.

Lin paused for a few minutes waiting for a pay jump before calling the clock on himself. The floor gave him 10 seconds and he committed his last chip.

Ren Lin: A♣9♣
Jimmy Setna: 9♦9♠

The flop came J♠8♣7♠ and Lin began calling for a ten. "Please," he pleaded with the dealer, but he instead saw the 3♥ and 2♠ fall on the turn and river.

The remaining 27 players are now drawing for seats at the final three tables.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the latest episode, Jesse Fullen and special co-host Norman Chad continue The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The two start by debating the pros and cons of the 2023 WSOP Main Event payouts before welcoming this week’s guest – poker vlogger Ryan Depaulo.

Among the topics they discuss with the Whole Foods parking lot bracelet winner are his biggest score to date (third place in the Colossus), what his father told him (“Don’t punt”), and Joey the Mush. Plus, they ask if he was banned from Borgata for vlogging, his main poker influence, and whether or not he’s a withered pro.

Norman Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”

Three-handed on a flop of 4♠7♥9♦, Jose Nadal bet 155,000 from the button and Wayne Harmon called in the small blind, while Louie Torres folded in early position.

Both players checked the K♦ turn before Harmon led out for 350,000 on the 8♣ river.
