Lin Wins Big
A huge hand has just played out between Sun Sheng and Qiang Lin that has decimated the former��s 50,000 starting stack.
Pre-flop it was Yan Shing Tsang who lit the blue touch paper with and under-the-gun raise to 700. Sitting UTG+1 Sun Sheng tossed in the call before Qiang Lin re-raised from UTG+3 to 2,800 in total.
While that was more than enough to get Tsang to bow out Sheng looked like he wanted to see a flop and after a couple of minutes of careful contemplation, he threw in the calling chips to take the action heads-up to a 
flop.
Sheng checked it over to Lin who continuation bet 3,800, only to see Sheng check-raise another 5,000 on top for a total bet of 8,800.
Lin thought it over but elected to call and the 
hit the turn. This brought a 14,000 bet from Sheng and Lin thought long and hard before deciding to call once more.
The 
river sent Sheng deep into the think tank as he sized up Lin��s stack before deciding the right amount to bet was 40,000 �C which coincidently, was the size of Lin��s remaining stack �C leaving himself 14,000 behind.
It was Lin��s turn to tank, but not for too long and he eventually announced the call.
Sheng sheepishly turned over 
for a missed back door heart draw meaning Lin��s 
top pair was enough to win the huge pot and Sheng took a big early hit.
