Ren Lin was all in from the small blind for 116,000 with Ks10s, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the Ad10c of Isaac Kempton on the button.

The board came 7s6c4dKh3s, and Lin paired his king on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Ren Lin  –  252,000  (25 bb)
Isaac Kempton  –  100,000  (10 bb)

With 128 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 454,000 (45 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $6,400 each.

Action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (around 12:20 am).
