Huge Sweat for Gelman
Michael Lin opened the betting in middle position, before Herbert Gelman popped in a three-bet to 115000. When action got back round to Lin, he ripped in his stack of 430,000. Gelman had 480,000 behind, and covered, however was put into quite the spot. After taking his time and weighing up his options, Gelman made the call.
Michael Lin: A♣K♠ 
Herbert Gelman: A♠K♥
"No flushes," agreed the two players, as both were happy to take a chop. The K♣K♦J♣ flop seemed relatively safe, as both players hit trips, but the 4♣ turn gave Lin a flush draw, and he was freerolling Gelman. "One time!" shouted Lin, but the 9♥ river had the dealer splitting the pot. "Did you just use your one time?" asked Gelman, concerned that Lin had taken back their preflop agreement.
