Lin Doubles Martirosian, Wins It All Back Against Ding

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian got his 560,000 in preflop from the cutoff against Ren Lin in the hijack, and was at risk.

Artur Martirosian: AK All in
Ren Lin: 66

"Ace-king no good," Lin stated when he saw the cards, but it became the best hand on the 7JQA9 runout to double up Martirosian.

Not much later, Lin opened to 40,000 under the gun. Biao Ding three-bet to 110,000 in the hijack, and Lin called.

The A72 flop was fanned. Ding continued for 55,000, with Lin check-calling. The 4 turn was knuckled by both players, seeing the 9 appear on the river.

Lin checked for a third time, eliciting a bet of 220,000 from Ding. Lin had other plans, however, and put his opponent all in for 650,000. Ding had no intention of risking the remainder of his stack and quickly mucked.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis had left the field and was replaced by the newest entry, Martin Kabrhel.
