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

Dingshun Lin raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Ashraf Dighlawi moved all in from the cutoff. Edward Zakaria was in the big blind with only a couple of big blinds and also pushed his stack into the middle, with both other players covering him. Lin called and covered both and the players went three-ways to the flop.

Ashraf Dighlawi: K♦8♦ All in
Edward Zakaria:A♥4♥ All in
Dingshun Lin: 6♦6♠

Lin was ahead until the K♥10♣J♥ flop, with Dighlawi hitting top pair and Zakaria looking at a flush draw.

The 8♥ turn brought in the heart flush for Zakaria and the Q♠ river secured his triple up.

Dighlawi took the side pot and no bounties moved.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dingshun Lin	500,000
Edward Zakaria	300,000 254,000	254,000
Ashraf Dighlawi	210,000

Xinwen Zhang went all in from the button. Josue Aguirre called in the small blind for fewer chips.

Josue Aguirre: A♣Q♦ All in
Xinwen Zhang: A♦9♠

The board came out 10♣8♠5♥Q♥10♥ so Aguirre doubled up, and left Zhang very short stacked.

Lin Keeps on Fighting

Jacob Wilson

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

Dingshun Lin was forced all in from the big blind, as he could only post the blind and 15,000 of his ante. Jesse Yaginuma raised to 80,000 from early position and, despite the $500 bounty on offer, all the other players at the table folded.

Dingshun Lin: Q♥7♥ All in
Jesse Yaginuma: K♠Q♦

Lin found a way to stay alive, as the board ran out 7♠2♣3♦J♣A♠ and looks to spin it up from what was an improbable position.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jesse Yaginuma	545,000 545,000	545,000

Dingshun Lin	140,000 360,000	360,000
