Villamarin Heater Sends Him Toward Chip Lead
Nível 17
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After being put to the test for his tournament life against Jason Koon and calling correctly with a rivered top pair, Carlos Villamarin just won a huge pot off Ren Lin to now challenge Koon for the chip lead.
On a turn board reading 
, Villamarin checked to Lin, who bet 150,000. Villamarin replied with a check-raise to 675,000.
Once again, Lin dropped a "no gamble no future" reference as he moved all-in for 2,240,000 effective.
Villamarin snap-called and showed Lin the nuts.
Carlos Villamarin: 
Ren Lin: 
The 
on the river couldn't save Lin, and his stack was shrunk below two million, while Villamarin soars over five million.
