Linke Earns a Massive Double Off Nica
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Enrico Linke raised to 30,000 in middle position before start-of-day chip leader Cosmin Nica three-bet to 85,000 on the button. Linke four-bet to 235,000, Nica moved all in, and Linke snap-called for 650,000.
Enrico Linke: A?K? 
Cosmin Nica: A?Q?
Linke had Nica dominated with around 1,300,000 at stake as the flop came A?A?4?, giving both players trips. Linke's king-kicker remained in the lead on the 5? turn, while the river was the J? as Linke let out a loud yell as he celebrated taking down the pot that elevated him among the chip leaders.
