Lin Can't Fold His Way to the Final Table

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Tony Lin
Tony Lin

Ren Lin has spent the last few levels folding emphatically and announcing "fold to the final table" every time.

As a result, Lin got down to just 45,000 before he started scoping out the other stacks in the room.

"Anyone shorter than me?" Lin said as he waved his chips around. "Anyone shorter than one big blind?"

"I don't know how Ren is still in this tournament," Alex Foxen said.

Finally, Lin found a hand good enough to go with as action folded to him in late position. After fumbling around in his backpack, he pulled out a "No Gamble No Future" sticker and stuck in front of him in lieu of an all-in button.

"All in! Let's go!" Lin cheered as action folded around to Vlastimil Pustina in the small blind.

"You look or no look? Oh, you're small blind," said Lin.

Pustina raised and Lin was ready to go. "Come on baby! One time! You double me up, we go to strip club! "Deuce? Strip club."

Ren Lin: A2 All in
Vlastimil Pustina: AQ

The flop of Q3J paired both player's kickers, but the Q turn had Lin crying "ay ya ya ya ya ya" before the J river.

"No more strip club," he said. "No bluff, no future."

Rocco Busts Yau

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ethan Yau
Ethan Yau

When it folded around to Ethan Yau on the button he decided now was the time to commit his last 420,000 into the middle.

Paul Jager was in the small blind and went deep into the tank, using possibly his first time extension of the event. As he slid his time extension to the dealer, Michael Rocco put in calling chips and turned over pocket jacks, mistakingly thinking Jager had folded. After the floor was called over, it was settled that Rocco's call would stand with the action back on Jager. It didn't take long for Jager to fold his hand, and the cards were revealed.

Ethan Yau: A6 All in
Michael Rocco : JJ

Yau flopped a six on the 627 flop, but didn't improve any further as the 5 turn, and 3 river cemented his elimination from the event.

After the hand Rocco commented to Jager "you never use time extensions". Rocco was then issued a one-hand penalty by the floor staff.

Rabichow Takes From Pustina

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Vlastimil Pustina opened under the gun and Kevin Rabichow defended from the big blind.

Rabichow chose to check the 8A5 flop. Pustina fired a continuation-bet of 30,000 only to be met by a check-raise to 140,000 from Rabichow. After some thought, Pustina made the call.

The Q turn saw Rabichow put out a bet of 160,000. This prompted a quick fold from Pustina
