First big pot of the day goes to Hung Sheng Lin


Hung Sheng Lin has earned the first big pot of the Final 8 shaving off some towers off the leader Evgeny Kurilenko. The hand began with a raise to 55k by Lin from mid position, Sai Ho Philip Chiu called from the cutoff, button Kurilenko three-bet to 175k, and both Lin and Chiu called.

On the flop 7 Q 8 they all checked. On the 3 turn, Lin fired out 210k and got one caller in Kurilenko. The river 6 was checked by both and Lin won the big pot with his 9 9 as Kurilenko mucked.
