Lin Flushes Out Mai for the Knockout
Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Bien Mai raised from under the gun and was called by Jian Lin and Tan Tan in the big blind.
The flop came 3♥ 5♣ J♣. Both Tan and Mai checked the action to Lin, who bet 11,000. Tan didn’t want to take any more heat and folded.
On the 9♣ turn, Mai check-called Lin’s all-in shove, putting himself at risk of elimination.
The river J♥ hit the board, and Lin revealed 7♣ 3♣ for a flush. Mai mucked and exited the tournament floor.
