Ren Lin: 4xXx/2x6xAx

"Oooo, $300 [thousand] up top," Ren Lin said, as he peeked at his hole cards.

"You're a min-cash player," Negreanu responded. "Twenty thousand for you."

"Nooo, no. Now I'm on tilt," Lin said as he completed. Negreanu called for heads-up pot.

"I have you dominated," Lin said after being dealt fourth street. "I bet." Negreanu called.

Lin was dealt an ace on fifth street and bet again.

"You're drawing dead," Lin said to Negreanu.

"You don't know what you have!" Negreanu replied. "But I have a pair so, you win." Negreanu then mucked his hand.

Lin showed a 4x before collecting the pot.

David Stamm: XxXx / 9xJx - folded on fourth street

Brian Hastings was the bring in and George Alexander completed on his direct left, picking up calls from Yaniv Birman and David Stamm. Hastings also stuck around.

Alexander bet on fourth street, with only Stamm folding. Hastings had 3,000 and called for his tournament life.

Alexander continued on fifth, and Birman got out of the way for Alexander and Hastings to go to the races.

After seventh street, Alexander had 7-6-5-4-2. Hastings needed a five or a trey to make a better low, but he peeled a 2x to double pair, leaving himself with a king-low.

Floor Ruling Needed on #655

Limits: 6,000-12,000

Joao Vieira: 8x6xAx / 7xQx2x8x All in
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 9x6x4x / 2xJx3xKx

Dzmitry Urbanovich completed and Joao Vieira called. Both players checked fourth street, and on fifth, Urbanovich check-raised a bet from Vieira. Vieira called.

On sixth street, Urbanovich received a 3x and Vieira a Kx. However, the players quickly noticed the dealer had failed to burn a card before dealing, meaning Urbanovich's 3x was mistakenly dealt and should have been the burn. After calling the floor and explaining that no action had occurred, a ruling was made: the 3x was used as the burn card, and Urbanovich was given Vieira's Kx instead. Vieira received a new card — an 8x.

Vieira bet, leaving himself just 1,500 behind, and Urbanovich called. The rest of the chips went in on seventh street. Vieira showed an 8-7-6-2-A low, beating Urbanovich’s 9-6-4-3-2.

Ren Lin: 7x6x6x / Ax3x8x9x
George Alexander: XxXx / Ax9x5x5x / Xx

Ren Lin completed and called after George Alexander raised on his direct left. Alexander called a bet on fourth street before raising fifth street, prompting Lin to three-bet. Alexander called and continued to call on both sixth and seventh streets.

Lin revealed an eight-seven low to win the pot. Alexander looked back at his hand and realized he had made trip fives, having misread one of his downcards.

"How do you even raise there?" Alexander asked, referring to Lin's three-bet on fifth.

After carrying over from yesterday’s banter about being the “Razz Master,” Lin shot back: "How did you win a bracelet in Razz?"
