Jian Hui Giam's Queens Bust Hua-Wei Lin

Flight A PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)
Blinds: 2,000/4,000 Ante 4,000 (Level 15)
Jian Hui Giam min-raised 8,000 from under the gun with UTG+1 making the call. When it reached Huwa-Wei Lin at the small blind, he re-raised all-in for his last 34,000. Giam made the call and UTG+1 got out of the way.
Giam's queens were ahead of Lin's tens and it stayed that way after the board ran out, sending Lin out of his seat and onto the rail.
