Two men seated at a poker table in a casino, one holds blue chips.

Dongyin Lin

Dongying Lin was down to just 14 big blinds and felt it was time to put them all on the line with Q ♦️ 10 ♦️ in the hole. His next door neighbor Daqiao Jiang liked his hand as well and made the call showing K ♥️ Q ♠️.

Things were looking up for Lin at the flop 7 ♦️ J ♦️ 9 ♥️ with an open-ended however the turn A ♥️ was no help until the river 8 ♣️ gave him the card he needed to survive with a straight and double through.
