The turn card was the , and both players checked.

The river card was the , and Tolstov moved all in for 22,400. Lin asked for an exact count and went into the tank for a while before he folded for a club flush. Tolstov took the pot.

After the hand, Qartomy said he thought Lin folded the best hand, but Lin was convinced that Tolstov had a full house. Lin told Tolstov he would pay him $100 if he showed his cards as anything other than ace-jack. Tolstov gave a non-commital shrug and took the pot without showing his cards.

“Ace-jack,” said Lin.

“You’ll find out later on the live-stream,” joked Tolstov, knowing full well that there is no live-stream for this event until the final table.

Igor Tolstov  –  31,100  (62 bb)
Ray Qartomy  –  100,000  (200 bb)
Ren Lin  –  110,000  (220 bb)
