Brett Slezak

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jianwei Lin in the small blind and John Krpan in the hijack had built a pot of 250,000 going to the river.

With the board reading 8♠8♣2♠J♣Q♥, Lin led with a bet of 150,000 before Krpan stacked his chips and slid his entire 392,000 stack into the middle, roughly the same amount as Lin had. Lin thought it over before ultimately deciding to fold, conceding the pot to Krpan without showdown.
