Ilani Shifts the Tide; Lin Loses Some
Level 36
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Heads up blind versus blind, Ran Ilani and Ren Lin saw a flop of A♠8♥5♠ fan out on the felt. Lin check-called Ilani's bet of 1,400,000.
The turn snapped off the K♦ and Lin check-called 2,600,000.
When the river completed the 7♣, both players checked and Lin tabled K♠9♣, gesturing with his hand to claim the pot.
Ilani took a moment, joking with Lin and quickly flipped over his K♣10♥, just pipping his opponent to claim the pot. Ilani's rail burst into a coordinated cheer.
"You should have value bet river! Then you're professional...", said Lin after the rail had quieted down.
