Ollie Garland

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, Ren Lin three-bet to 275,000 from the button and Farid Jattin, in the big blind, went into a lengthy tank before moving all in. Vaskaboinikau folded and Lin made the call for his effective stack of 1,535,000.

Ren Lin: A♣K♦ All in
Farid Jattin: K♠Q♠

Lin had Jattin dominated and the A♠J♣2♦ flop improved him to top pair. The 4♦ turn and 7♣ river failed to complete Jattin's straight draw and this monster pot was sent to Lin.
