No Spin-Up for Lin

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ren Lin

Ian Matakis raised his button to 12,000. Pavel Plesuv called in the small blind, and the short-stacked Ren Lin defended his big blind.

The 6♠7♥K♠ flop then checked to Matakis, who placed the minimum bet of 6,000. Plesuv raised to 21,000, and Lin called off his final big blind. Matakis instantly released his cards, forcing a showdown.

Pavel Plesuv: 4♠4♦ All in
Ren Lin: 5♠4♣

Lin had an overcard and a straight draw against Plesuv's pocket fours, but the A♥A♦ pair of aces that completed the board provided no help to the jovial Chinese high roller, sending him to the exit.
