Becker Trips Up Lin
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Limits: 4,000-14,000
Ren Lin opened from the cutoff and Johannes Becker called in the big blind.
On the 10♦8♠5♣ flop, the rest of Lin's chips got into the middle as he was all-in for 39,000, including the preflop bet.
Ren Lin: A♠A♥6♠5♥
Johannes Becker: A♣J♦8♣4♠
Lin had an overpair with fives against the middle pair and better low draw of Becker. The 9♥ turn kept Lin in position to scoop, until the 8♥ river gave Becker trips as Lin hit the rail.
