Hrabec Wakes Up the Tiger
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A massive pile of chips was being pushed toward Jianwei Lin after he earned a double up through Roman Hrabec.
With around 50,000 in the middle, Hrabec was in the small blind had put Lin all in after the flop and Lin called in middle position for his last 266,000 with 3♠3♥. Hrabec had A♠K♣ on a board of 6♠10♣4♣2♥ and needed help on the river.
The dealer turned over the 10♥ and Lin's pocket threes survived to earn him a double up that put him among the chip leaders near the end of the night.
"If I lose, I go again tomorrow," Lin said as he stacked up his new-found riches.
"Woke up the tiger," a tablemate said.
