Santhosh Suvarna limped in from the button with J♥9♣, and Ren Lin checked his Q♦3♣ in the big blind. Lin then check-called Suvarna's 500,000 bet on the 10♥K♠10♠ flop before both players checked the 8♠ turn.

The 7♥ river then completed the board and Lin checked to Suvarna again. The Indian player made a big bet of 1,800,000 chips with his straight and Lin let his queen-high go, granting another pot to his opponent.

Santhosh Suvarna limped in with A♠9♥ from the button and Ren Lin checked his big blind with 9♣7♠. Lin then led for 500,000 chips on the 5♠2♥Q♠ flop and Suvarna made a swift call.

Lin upped his sizing to 1,500,000 on the 8♠ turn, but Suvarna was not going anywhere with his nut flush draw and called again. The A♥ river did not stop Lin from completing his triple barrel, as he forwarded 4,500,000 chips to the middle of the table.

Suvarna thought it over for a good while but eventually made the correct call with his top pair. Lin showed his bluff and the big pot was shipped Suvarna's way.

The 3♥ then appeared on the turn and Suvarna opted for a deceptive check with top set. Lin checked behind and the Q♣ river brought Santhosh quad queens.

He opted for a bet of 2,300,000, but Lin found this too much and folded his ace-high.

Ren Lin limped in 9♦2♣ from the button and Santhosh Suvarna checked his 10♥4♥ in the big blind.

The flop of K♠Q♣10♦ was checked by Suvarna, followed by a 400,000 bet from Lin, which Suvarna called. The 2♦ turn gave Lin bottom pair and this time he checked behind after Suvarna checked first.

The 10♠ river saw Suvarna hit trips and he led out for 1,000,000 chips. Lin was a non-believer and put in the call with his bottom two pair. He saw the bad news when Suvarna tabled his hand and forfeited more chips to his adversary.
