Linn's Ladies

Michael Linn
Michael Linn

First to speak, Michael Linn opened for 150,000 from under the gun, only for Taylor Larkin to make it a 425,000 from the small blind. Going against common trends in which the big blind normally side steps out of the way, Miahai Manole had other ideas and duly slid in a four-bet to a whopping 1,025,000.

Linn immediaely moved all in (although his stack crumbled en route), whilst a disgruntled Larkin folded what he later revealed was {A-}{K-}. Manole, meanwhile, shrugged his shoulders, asked for a count, and made the call.

Manole: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Linn: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Despite a hair-raising {8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, the {J-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} river were both blanks and Linn doubled through to 3,800,000, whilst a disappointed Manole sank to 2,490,000.
