Lin Busts in First Hand Back

Nível 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

It had been a difficult afternoon for Xiang Lin, who had to leave the tournament for several hours as he had to go to the hospital. He returned to action after the dinner break, after being gone for around 4 hours, as estimated by Kevin Houghton. His stack had been blinded off while he was gone, and he returned to a stack of just a handful of big blinds. "I sense you're going all in on this first hand," Houghton told Lin before action began or players had looked at their cards.

Houghton hit the nail on the head, as Lin moved all in from under the gun, and Houghton made the call with Lin covered. The rest of the table got out of the way, letting the two have a heads-up showdown.

Xiang Lin:
Kevin Houghton:

With Houghton ahead, the runout offered no help to Lin, who was sent to the rail in his first hand after returning to the tournament.
