Runner-Runner Straight Flush Cracks Ren Lin's Pocket Aces

The Triton One Cyprus festival has barely got underway, but there's already been a hand that will take some beating for the rest of the series. WPT Global ambassador Ren Lin found himself on the wrong end of a particularly nasty runout in Event #1: $3,000 QQPK Genesis , watching his pocket aces get cracked by a runner-runner straight flush during the Day 1c flight. The unlikely winner was Kazakhstan's Bakbergen Absadyk , who managed the great escape to keep his tournament hopes alive.
