Lin Zhaoyi

With two players seeing a board of 4 Q 6 T and 28,200 in the middle Yifan Zhang checked from early position and Zhaoyi Lin shoved from the button. Zhang, who had 22,000 and was covered, made the call for his tournament life.


Yifan Zhang: Q 8

Zhaoyi Lin: A A


Zhang had top pair but was in bad shape against Lin’s aces. The T K runout changed nothing for either player and Lin took the pot while Zhang was sent to the rail.
