Lin Shouts for a Monkey
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Antoine Hasbani raised to 68,000 from early position with just 2,000 behind. The table folded all the way around to Ren Lin in the big blind, who peeled back one card and then started shouting, "Monkey! Monkey! Monkey!" as he began to squeeze out his second card. He must have picked up something close to a monkey as he made the call.
Ren put Hasbani all in dark before the 6♠5♦5♠ flop came down, and Hasbani called.
Antoine Hasbani: A♣9♠ 
Ren Lin: A♥J♥
Hasbani was in rough shape and needed a nine or the board to pair to stay in the tournament. The J♣ turn gave Lin top pair, leaving Hasbani drawing dead. The 2♣ fell on the river, and Hasbani headed for the exit.
