Monnette Leaves Lin Short; Beinner Finishes the Job

Level 9

Limit Hold'em

Ren Lin raised from the small blind and John Monnette called in the big blind.

On the JJ8 flop, Lin led and Monnette called.

Lin bet again on the 7 turn, Monnette raised, and Lin called.

On the 10 river, Lin check-called a final bet from Monnette, who tabled 109 for a turned straight.

"Wow! Never bluff," Lin lamented as he was left with just a few chips.

Two hands later, Lin got his final 5,000 into the middle, at risk against Matthew Beinner in the big blind.

Ren Lin: AJ All in
Matthew Beinner: 1010

It was a coinflip scenario, and Lin picked up extra outs on the turn, but the completed board of K85Q5 could not save Lin, and he was sent to the rail.
