Lin Spikes the Turn to End Kuo's Run
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kitty Kuo opened to 3,500 from middle position and was called by Yongqing Yuan in the hijack and Lily Lotfy in the cutoff. Yuhan Lin then squeezed to 17,000 on the button and Kuo responded by shoving for 51,000 total. Both Yuan and Lotfy got out of the way, but Lin called to put Kuo at risk.
Kitty Kuo: A♣Q♣
Yuhan Lin: 8♥8♠
The J♣Q♥7♣ flop vaulted Kuo into the lead with a pair of queens and flush draw to boot, but the 8♦ turn improved Lin to a set to leave Kuo on the ropes.
The 6♦ river bricked out for Kuo and she was eliminated just before play ended for the day.
