Mateos' Pocket Nines Can't Crack Lin's Cowboys
Level 6
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised from under the gun to 12,000 and Ren Lin three-bet to 55,000 from the big blind. Mateos called.
Both saw the 2♦6♥6♦ flop which drew a bet of 29,000 from Lin. Mateos shoved, and Lin called off his remaining 70,000 chips.
Ren Lin: K♣K♠ 
Adrian Mateos: 9♣9♥
Lin faded the two outs of Mateos as the runout of J♦8♠ kept his pocket kings in the lead which earned him a double-up.
"You played this one really good," remarked Nacho Barbero to Lin.
