Ren Lin min-raised under the gun to 100,000, John Racener moved all in from UTG+1 for 110,000, and Lin called with 6s4c. Racener turned over 9h9c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came AsQc4d7d8h, and Lin paired his four on the flop, but improved no further. Racener won the pot with his pocket nines to double up in chips.

John Racener  –  345,000  (7 bb)
Ren Lin  –  2,935,000  (59 bb)

Two hands later, action folded to Lin in the small blind, and he moved all in. Racener thought for a bit before he called all in from the big blind for 295,000 with Kh6s.

Lin turned over Kd7d, and Racener was dominated as he faced elimination.

The board came Ad9h3d5sKc, and with two low cards on the board, Lin’s seven kicker played for him to win the pot and eliminate Racener in eighth place.

Ren Lin  –  3,270,000  (65 bb)
