Hellmuth Bamboozles Lin
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth limped from the small blind and Ren Lin checked from the big blind.
The flop came A♠8♣5♥ and Lin bet 25,000 and was check-raised to 100,000 from Hellmuth, which Lin called.
The K♣ came on the turn and Hellmuth checked which confused Lin who let out a "Whaaaaaat!" as he checked. The 2♣ completed the board and Hellmuth bet 200,000. Lin called it off and saw the bad news as Hellmuth tabled 10♣4♣ for the flush which left Lin bewildered.
