Ren Lin Eliminated in 8th Place ($284,979)
Ren Lin was one of the more colorful personalities on Day 2, often engaging his tablemates in conversation and jokes.
It got serious, though, when he ended up in a hand against Jans Arends in a battle of the blinds.
Lin, who was in the small blind, completed the bet to 250,000 and Arends checked behind.
The dealer placed K♣2♦6♣, and the action heated up after Lin led out with 250,000. Arends raised to 800,000, which put Lin in the tank.
Lin alternated glances at the monitor, which scrolled payouts above the table. He then methodically counted out his chips, while using two time bank chips. As the dealer began counting down on the second time bank extension, Lin moved all in for his remaining 3,900,000 and Arends called to put Lin at risk.
Ren Lin: J♣6♦
Jans Arends: K♠Q♦
Arends’ top pair had the lead, and Lin needed a lot of help to improve. The dealer, though, ran out 7♥ on the turn and 9♣ on the river.
Lin was eliminated in eighth place for $284,979.
