Kyle Lin Eliminated in 2nd Place ($299,218)
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
After a chopped pot the previous hand when all the money got in the middle pre-flop with both players holding king-queen, it was obvious that the players were going to get back into action.
Ciro Gonzalez open-jammed all in from the button and Kyle Lin squeezed his cards whilst standing up and slammed them down on the table whilst tossing in the call.
Kyle Lin: 4♦4♥
Ciro Gonzalez: A♣8♠
Lin was ahead but needed to dodge some overcards to stay alive for the double.
Not the door card Lin wanted to see though on the 8♦2♥J♠ flop, but he still had outs to stay alive. The 7♣ turn didn't help him and, when the 8♥ peeled off on the river and gave Gonzalez trips, Lin was sent to the rail as our runner up in the event.
