Queens For Lin
We were lurking by Nick Petrangelo’s table hoping to catch the US High Roller specialist in action as he has an impressive stack of 272,000. While Petrangelo failed to oblige us with any action we caught a hand involving HK$206,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock Champion Quan Zhou (who is also at the same table) and Xia Lin.
Pre-flop it was Zhou who opened the action with a raise to 3,700 from middle position and action folded around to Petrangelo on the button.
“How much are you playing there?” Petrangelo quizzed Zhou, “You want to gamble?”
Then Petrangelo peeked down at his cards and shook his head sadly.
“No gamble I’m afraid,” said the US pro, throwing his hand away.
However, small blind Xia Lin seemed game and re-raised to 8,500 and Zhou made the call to take play heads-up to the 
flop.
Lin led for 10,000, Zhou quickly folded and Lin flashed pocket queens before raking in the pot.
