Lin Wins With "Natural Nine"

Ren Lin limped in from under the gun before Gab Yong Kim raised to 41,000 from the next seat over. The action then folded to Teun Mulder in the big blind, who made the call. Lin put in the extra chips as well, and a flop of 6♥7♠K♣ was put on the felt.

It checked to Kim, who made a tiny bet of 19,000 chips. It was not big enough to scare away either Mulder or Lin, as they both called. The 6♣ then fell and Mulder led out for 70,000. Again, all three contenders stayed in the pot, as both of his opponents made the call.

On the 8♦ river, Mulder slowed down and checked, causing Lin to make a bet of 235,000. Kim pondered his options for a while but eventually made the call, after which Mulder snap called.

"Natural nine!", Lin exclaimed as he tabled his 6♠3♠ for trips. Mulder threw his cards into the muck and the big pot was shipped Lin's way.
