Ren Lin raised to 22,000 before the flop to which John Riordan responded by moving all in for 143,000.
“14 big blinds?” Lin contemplated out loud, “I don’t think I can fold.”
Lin called and after Riordan tabled [9d9s] he cried out, “Oh you’re in trouble buddy, super eights!”
Lin showed [8h8s] and the flopped brought [7s8c7h] to which Lin said, “Lucky eights!”
The turn, the [Jh], nor river, the [Kc], helped Riordan who could do nothing but laugh and said, “Well, I appreciate the warning.”
