After an earlier open to 8,000 chips, Ren Lin three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. Jesse Lonis inquired after the numbers before four-betting to 84,000.
The action folded back to the theatrical Lin, who slammed his 5♦ face-up on the table before folding. Lonis shoved the card in between his own and showed Lin all three.
The table asked Lin what he was shown, to which he answered that Lonis had four-bet with 6x4x, and gave his neighbour a friendly slap on the shoulder.
