Back to back shoves by Hao Lin with a very lucky first win. He had A ♠️ 2d: up against big stacked Yu Yeh Chun with A ♣️ A ♥️.

The board ran 4 ♠️ 5 ♥️ A ♦️ 6 ♥️ 3c: for a lucky straight on the river. 

With his newfound chips, Lin immediately put it all on the line and found himself dominated once again. 

Hao Lin: K ♥️ 6 ♥️

Kevin Choi: K ♠️ 9 ♥️

This time no miracles were being given out on the board 2 ♦️ 4 ♣️ 10 ♠️ 7 ♥️ J ♦️ for Lin to fall in 19th place.
