Ren Lin jammed the button for 1,700,000 and Chenxiang Miao called to try and bust him from the small blind.
Ren Lin: 10♦10♥ 
Chenxiang Miao: A♣A♥
Lin was in rough shape against the prelfop nuts of Miao, and didn't improve on the 6♠2♦6♦Q♥J♦ runout with his pocket tens.
Miao pulled in the pot and Lin headed out of the tournament area to collect his fourth-place payout.
Ren Lin was the first to act and opened it to 400,000 to start the action.
Xiaohu Liu responded with a re-raise to 1,100,000 from the small blind.
Lin asked for clarification on the raise and pondered the spot before he verbally announced 1,800,000 in response.
Liu looked at the dealer and announced all in as he began to put his chips forward, but before he could finish his motion, Lin slapped his wrist to reprimand himself, then tossed his cards in the muck to yield the pot to Liu.
Level: 30
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000

Lin check-called a bet of 250,000 from Liu on the 9♦6♣Q♦ flop.
The 9♣ turn paired the board, and Lin elected to lead out for 600,000. Liu continued via a call.
A 3♣ joined the board on the river, and Lin slid out 3,600,000, leaving himself with just 100,000 behind. Liu took his time before eventually deciding to fold, and Lin was able to drag in the sizeable pot.

Gheba gave it some thought before he shoved for 3,375,000 total. Lin folded before Liu went into the tank.
Liu asked for a count as he mulled over the decision. After a brief tank, Liu put in the chips to signal a call as he went to a showdown against Gheba with Gheba at risk.
Daniyal Gheba: 6♠5♠
Xiaohu Liu: Q♦8♦
Gheba was ahead with his two pair, but Liu had outs to a straight or could sink Gheba's two pair by hitting either of his whole cards.
None of them came when the 2♠ appeared on the river to award Gheba the pot and put a dent in Liu.
Xiaohu Liu raised under the gun to 300,000 before Ren Lin three-bet to 1,100,000 out of the small blind. Liu called, and the flop fell K♣7♦2♥.

The K♠ completed the board and both players were happy to check.
Lin showed A♥7♣ for a pair of sevens, but was second best the entire time to Liu's 8♠8♣ for a pair of eights.
It was a blind on blind affair as Xiaohu Liu raised to 450,000 from the small blind and was called by Daniyal Gheba out of the big blind.
Liu continued for 250,000 on the 10♣5♣6♥ flop and was called by Gheba.
The 9♥ turn did not deter Liu, who opted to go all-in to put Gheba to a decision for his tournament life.
Gheba chose to fold as Liu won without a showdown.
Ren Lin opened to 300,000 on the button and got one caller from Xiaohu Liu in the big blind.
Liu checked the J♥J♦7♥ flop before Lin chose to continue for 150,000. Liu made the call.
Both players checked the J♣ turn to bring the Q♣ river.

Gheba pondered his spot before he chose to muck his hand as Liu took down the pot preflop.
Chenxiang Miao raised to 300,000 from under the gun and only Ren Lin came along from the big blind.
Lin checked on the 4♦8♠6♥ flop and Miao fired a continuation-bet of 350,000. Lin took quite some time, counted out his stack, and then eventually settled on a call.
The 3♦ turn quickly checked through and the Q♣ completed the board. Lin checked for the final time, and Miao announced a bet of 1,500,000.
Lin instantly called and Miao could only show a bluff with A♠J♥. Lin tabled A♥8♣ for a pair of eights before shouting to his tablemates,
"Who is the best? Tony the tiger!"
