Lin Triples Up
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ren Lin moved all in for 21,000 in the hijack. "Please no snap call," Lin said as Brian Rast tanked for a moment before calling in the cutoff. Dan Harrington also called in the big blind.
Rast and Harrington checked down the 6♠10♥2♠5♦6♥ board. "I have nothing. King," Harrington said, showing K♥9♠.
"Nuts," Lin cried out as he turned over A♦5♣ for a pair of fives. Rast mucked and Lin took the pot to triple up.
At the same time at another table, Huck Seed was eliminated by fellow Main Event champion Qui Nguyen when he moved all in with pocket jacks against Nguyen's K♣Q♣, but Nguyen hit a flush on the river to claim the bounty.
