Hao Lin

First to act Shun Hei Lee opened 2,500 and down the orbit on the small blind, Hao Lin challenged with three-bet to 11,500. Lee wasted no time deciding and called. 

On a flop of 6 ♠️ 8 ♥️ K ♣️, Lin continued for 7,500 and again Lee flatted. Lin paused for a time-bank on the turn 4 ♣️, then fired a 21,000 bet. Lee used a time-bank as well before laying out a bet that covered Lin's stack. 

Lin risked his tournament and turned over A ♠️ K ♠️ top pair. Lee had Q ♣️ J ♣️ flush draw. The river was a black card but not the suit Lee needed. Instead it was the 3 ♠️ for a safe landing for Lin to double through.
