Tony Lin aka Ren Lin was grinding in the $150K No Limit Hold’em 8 Handed at the Triton Poker Series in Monte Carlo. The China-born pro had locked horns with two other players who went all-in with solid hands.

The GGPoker ambassador had Cowboys while Nick Petrangelo had Fishhooks and one other rival had the Big Slick.

The field had boiled down to 58 out of the total 121 entries when Lin raised 20k from the button and saw a 3-bet of 66k from Petrangelo. Maher Nouira went for a 4-bet of 130k.

The action circled back to Lin who put his tournament life on the line. The other two players were all-in as well with not many moves left to make.

The dealer fanned out a flop of 365 which kept Lin ahead. The 7 on the turn and river of 4 did absolutely nothing for the players who were facing eliminations.

Lin eventually busted in the 13th position. Notable players who made the final table included names like the GGPoker ambassador—Fedor Holz, Bryn Kenney, Stephen Chidwick, and Dan Smith.

When it comes to the Triton Poker Series Monte Carlo, the series is sponsored by WPT Global. The series concludes on 14 November.

The coveted Main Event was shipped by Bryn Kenney for over $4.4 Million. The All Time Money leader also cashed over $1.6 Million in Event 12 after finishing in the fourth position.

The American pro made headlines after crossing the $70 Million mark in the live tournament earnings. Overall, Kenney had a dream run at the Monte Carlo series.

Another pro who grabbed the spotlight was Finland-born pro, Patrik Antonius. The poker hall of famer shipped the $200K Invitational game for over $5.1 Million which became his career-best score.
