Preston McEwen
Preston McEwen

Preston McEwen opened for 2,500 under the gun and Hung Sheng Lin called in the hijack before the big blind defended.

The dealer spread a flop of Q55, and the big blind check-folded to a continuation bet of 3,000 from McEwen, but Lin made the call.

The Q double-paired the board, and McEwen slowed down with a check before Lin fired a bet of 5,500. McEwen called.

The A completed the board on the river, and McEwen checked once again before Lin pushed his whole stack of 21,700 across the line. McEwen tanked for about 45 seconds before pitching his cards into the muck.

The flop came down KQ3x, the two blinds checked and Gollins bet out 5,500 and only Fawcett made the call.
