Linde Eliminated

Action folded around to Dylan Linde who moved all-in for 20,000 from middle position, he was called by Don Angstead from the button.

Linde:   
Angstead:   

The flop came     and Linde was still trailing the ace-high of Angstead.

The   on the turn would put Linde in the lead and he just needed to dodge an ace on the river for a much double up

Unfortunately, the dealer put out the   on the river and Linde was eliminated by Angstead.
