Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ren Lin opened to 7,000 from early position and Youness Barakat three-bet to 24,000 from the button. Lin four-bet shoved for a bit less than 40,000 and Barakat snap-called with a covering stack to put Lin at risk.
Ren Lin: A♦K♦Q♠7♠ 
Youness Barakat: A♥J♥J♣5♦
Lin took the lead with top pair on the Q♥8♠2♥ flop while Barakat picked up a flush draw. Barakat failed to improve when the rest of the board ran out 4♣Q♣ and Lin secured the double up with trip queens.
