Howard Checks Kings to Showdown
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ren Lin opened to 110,000 in the cutoff and then called after Nicholas Howard three-bet to 300,000 on the button.
Action checked through the Q♣J♠Q♠ flop to the 6♣ turn at which point both players checked once more.
The river came A♥ and Lin checked one last time. Howard checked back, prompting Lin to table 3x3x. It was no good, however, as Howard somewhat sheepishly flipped over KxKx for the higher two pair.
