After a flop of Heart 9Spade 5Heart 3, Ren Lin checks from UTG+1, Drew O’Connell bets 300,000 from the cutoff, and Lin calls.

The turn card is the Diamond 2, and both players check.

The river card is the Club 6, and Lin moves all in for about 3,100,000. O’Connell uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he folds.

Lin says, “I think I’ve got the best hand,” and he shows Club ASpade Q (ace high) as he takes the pot.

O’Connell seems to say that he had that beat, and may have called if his cards were in a different suit.

Ren Lin  –  4,635,000  (77 bb)
Drew O’Connell  –  2,040,000  (34 bb)
