Belcher Bombs the River on Lin in Lengthy Pot; Parssinen Hero-Calls Hudon
With around 400,000 in the pot on a flop of 3♦6♥2♦, Jianwei Lin led out for 130,000 from the big blind and Matthew Belcher called in the cutoff.
Lin then bet 330,000 on the 3♥ turn and Belcher again called. The 10♦ fell on the river and Lin spent several minutes counting out his stack before another player at the table called the clock.
Lin allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before he slammed the felt and checked. Belcher instantly put in 800,000 and Lin took about another minute before folding.
"I guess he saved some chips," tablemate Thomas Eychenne said to Belcher after the hand.
At another table, Eliot Hudon had bet 350,000 from the big blind on a ten-high board and Eelis Parssinen took a few minutes before calling in the cutoff. Parssinen showed K♥J♦ for just king-high and Hudon mucked as Parssinen took the pot to climb past 3,000,000.
