Lin Not Going Down Without a Fight
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov opened to 30,000 from middle position and Jianwei Lin defended from the big blind, leaving himself just 58,000 behind.
The flop came A?8?9?. Lin checked, Gromov bet 15,000, Lin moved all in and Gromov called to put him at risk.
Jianwei Lin: A?6?
Dmitry Gromov: 10?9?
"If I win, do I get your tiger?" Gromov joked, referencing Lin's card protector. Gromov picked up a straight draw to go along with his pair of nines on the 7? turn but the K? river was a brick and Lin secured a much-needed double up through Gromov.
