Westbrook Wins Battle of the Aces to Leave Lin on Fumes
Level 8
Ren Lin: XxXx/A♥8♣A♦
Shannon Westbrook: XxXx/K♠7♦A♣
Ren Lin bet on fifth street as action went on Shannon Westbrook who put in a raise.
"You raise me? No respect. Gamble, gamble," Lin said as he reraised all in and Westbrook called.
Westbrook turned over A♠5♠ for his own pair of aces but was ahead with his king-kicker as Lin showed 9♦5♥. "Put a king right here," Westbrook pleaded with the dealer, and they obliged by giving him the K♣ that made him two pair.
Lin finished with 3♠4♣ and handed over most of his chips as Westbrook doubled up.
