Lin Cracks Ioannidis Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ren Lin raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Konstantinos Ioannidis three-bet to 6,200 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Lin called.
Lin checked the 5?10?3? flop, Ioannidis bet 4,800 and Lin check-shoved for 26,600. Ioannidis snap-called to put Lin at risk.
Ren Lin: 6?4? 
Konstantinos Ioannidis: A?A?
Ioannidis was ahead with aces, but Lin had a straight draw. Lin received instant service on the 2? turn, giving him the nuts and leaving Ioannidis drawing dead as an inconsequential 8? came on the river.
