Day 1A
Lin Received Double Knockouts

On three-way all in hand just played out, resulting in double elimination.
C.J. Chen opened to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by Jui Tse Kao from late position, which Liao Bo Lin three-bet to 2,700 from the cutoff. Chen and Kao stuck around. On the flop of J♥ J♦ 5♥, both Chen and Kao checked over, which Lin continued with a bet of 3,500. Chen then put in a raise to 7,000 only to be jammed by Kao for 29,400, which didn’t deter Lin from shoving all in. Chen quickly called off his remaining chips.
Jui Tse Kao: K♣ J♣
Liao Bo Lin: A♦ J♠
C.J. Chen: T♥ 8♥
Kao and Lin both flopped trips of jacks, but Lin held the lead with a better kicker ace. The dealer swiftly spread the runout: 6♦ T♣, eliminating Kao and Chen from the tournament and securing Lin a sizable pot.
