Lucky Gary Lin Avoids The Rail

Mar 25, 2025

As one spectator says, “blessed again” about Gary Lin after Lin denies elimination. Hand opens with Lin raising 750,000 leaving 15,000 behind and Daniel Klinger calls. At the flop Spade 2Club AHeart 3, Lin puts the rest of his chips in and Klinger matches it to put Lin on the ropes. 

Both players have top pair, Klinger has the better kicker Heart ADiamond Q over Lin’s Diamond AHeart J. As the rail calls out for a jack, the turn and river come Spade 4Diamond 5 for a runner runner straight on the board. They chop it up. 

Gary Lin – 1,000,000 (13 bb)
Daniel Klinger – 5,500,000 (73 bb)
