Yongjia Lin Shoves the Flop with a Nine-High Straight Draw and Gets Pradeep Nudurumati to Fold a Ten-High Straight Draw

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

After a flop of Q♠ 8♦ 7♣ , Yongjia Lin checks, Pradeep Nudurumati bets about 25,000, and Lin check-raises all in for about 435,000.

Nudurumati uses several Time Chips to tank for a while before he folds and shows T♦ 9♦ for ten high with an open-ended straight draw.

Lin takes the pot, and shows 9♠ 6♠ for nine high with a lower open-ended straight draw. Even though he only had ten high, Nudurumati folded the best hand.
