Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

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♥ All in
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.

Michael Korody made it 11,000 from under the gun and Brad Ruben three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Korody called.

On the flop of 3♠J♠10♣, the remainder of Ruben's stack of roughly 150,000 got into the middle with Korody trying to eliminate him.

Brad Ruben: A♦A♣K♦7♣ All in
Michael Korody: A♠9♦4♦5♠

Korody had a flush draw against Ruben's pocket aces. The 9♣ turn gave Korody a few more outs, and the 5♣ river may have improved Korody to two pair, but Ruben hit a backdoor flush to win the pot and double-up.

While pulling in his newly earned chips, Ruben's neighbour made sure to let everyone know that he [Ruben] is "So f%#king lucky". After this statement, Ruben did confirm that he is "So f&#king lucky".

Jon Turner: A♠Q♦10♥4♦ All in
Scott Baumstein: 10♠8♣5♠2♣
