Matt Lin needed to make a move quickly if he wanted to avoid bubbling the final two tables, and when he found {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in the hole his decision was made.

Jason Tulloss opened for 240,000 and Lin got it all in for 535,000 more. The bet forced Tulloss to tank for a while, but he ultimately made the call with {K-Clubs}{j-Clubs} to begin the race.

Lin turned away from the table and avoided watching the flop fall, but the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} hit the felt anyway. A {q-Spades} on the turn brought Tulloss a slew of additional outs, as now any ten, jack, queen or king would give him the pot.

River: {8-Spades}

Lin dodged the deck but he didn't know it, as he still stood with his back turned to the table.

"You got it..." said a tablemate, as the river card gave Lin the much needed double.
