Lin Catches a Miracle to Dent Rantala
Level 16
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ruida Lin moved all in for 202,000 in the big blind and Eero Rantala called in the cutoff.
Ruida Lin: J?J?
Eero Rantala: A?K?
Lin was racing for his tournament life but fell behind as the 8?A?10? flop gave Rantala top pair. The K? turn improved Rantala to two pair and left him poised to collect the pot and end the night with more than 1,000,000, but the Q? spiked on the river to give Lin a straight.
"Yes. Let me take a picture, please," Lin yelled out as he snapped a photo of the board.
"Thank you, chip leader," he said to Rantala as he collected the miracle double up.
