Lin Gets Away as Lichtenberger Decimates Boivin

Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

Ren Lin put in a reraise to 20,000 from the button as action folded to big blind Thomas Boivin, who shoved all in for 102,000. Andrew Lichtenberger, under the gun, then reshoved for 96,000.

"Ay, ay, ay," Lin said as he went into the tank. "Ace-king, ace-king," he asked before eventually folding what he said were pocket nines.

Andrew Lichtenberger: QQ
Thomas Boivin: AK

Boivin and Lichtenberger found themselves in a classic race situation, one in which Lichtenberger would come out in front as the board came J2772 to earn him the double up and leave Boivin on an extreme short stack.
