Lin's Double Takes Nearly Half of Eychenne's Stack
Three players saw the 6♥4♥3♣ flop, and Jianwei Lin checked from the big blind before Thomas Eychenne shot a bet of 30,000 next to act into the pot of about 100,000. Santhosh Suvarna was on the button and got out of the way, but Lin stuck around with a call.
The K♠ fell on the turn, and Lin checked to Eychenne who continued for 112,000. Lin stood up to eye Eychenne's stack and fumbled with his chips for about 25 seconds before deciding on a raise of 310,000. Eychenne went into a tank of his own, taking a little more than two minutes before stacking up a pile of chips large enough to cover Lin and sliding them across the line. Lin snap-called off his stack of 743,000 and both hands were tossed on their backs.
Jianwei Lin: 7♠5♥ 
Thomas Eychenne: 6♦6♣
It was a cooler as Lin had flopped a straight against the set of Eychenne, and Lin managed to avoid the board pairing as the dealer rolled the Q♦ river.
