Ren Lin (left) and Shawn Cunix (right)

With the flop reading 9h7h2d and about 11K in the pot, a player in middle position checked and Ren Lin bet 4,500 from the cutoff. Shawn Cunix raised to 11,000 from the button to get a fold from the middle position player and a three-bet shove from Lin.

Cunix called at risk for 26,000.

Cunix: Qh3h
Lin: Jh8h

Cunix was ahead with the bigger heart draw but had a small sweat with Lin’s gutshot straight draw and live cards. The board finished with the Ac turn and 7d river and Cunix won the pot with queen-high.

Shawn Cunix – 63,000 (105 bb)
Ren Lin – 62,000 (103 bb)
