Yongjia Lin Flops Quads

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Yongjia Lin opened on the hijack, called by Yunkyu Song on the small blind. Akhilendra Singh on the big blind bumped it up to 36,000, and saw Lin complete and Song call all-in for his last 3,000.


The flop came A♦ 6♠ 6♦ , where Singh checked and Lin bet 18,000. Singh then raised to 45,000, with Lin calling onto turn 8♠ .


Both players checked it through to river Q♥ , where Lin gunned all-in for 237,000. Singh went deep into the tank but eventually laid it down after time was called, avoiding a potentially major loss.


Lin revealed quad sixes 6♥ 6♣ and left Song's A♠ 7♦ utterly crushed.
