Former Leader Lin Short After Doubling Betbese
Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nicolas Betbese had committed his stack of 115,000 from the hijack and was looked up by start-of-day chipleader Ren Lin in the hijack.
Nicolas Betbese: A♦5♦ 
Ren Lin: J♣J♦
Betbese was an underdog but flopped best on 7♦6♣A♠. The 2♥ turn did not improve Lin, and the A♥ river gave Betbese trips to finalize his double-up.
"Now everybody is looking at me," Lin concluded as he was left with 12 big blinds.
