Lin Goes on a Journey

Ren Lin opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and found himself facing an all-in from Nicholas Seward from the small blind. The bet was for 370,000, and it sent Lin into a tailspin.

After taking some time to mull over the situation, which included a lot of self-commentary, he elected to fold, which he followed with his trademark slap of his own hand, as a jovial self-punishment.

Lin got straight back on the horse, raising to 50,000 again on the following shuffle. This time, Yifu He called from the big blind.

The dealer spread a A♣10♦10♣ flop, and He check-called a bet of 25,000 before the action checked through on the 7♥ turn.

The action was checked through again on the K♣ river, and when He flipped over his K♥J♠, Lin mucked his cards.
