Lin Flushes Out Mai for the Knockout

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000
Jian Lin

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.
