Lim Flies Straight
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Former Day 1C chip leader Yah Loon Lim was getting short so when Zhu Qi raised his big blind he decided to take a gamble and moved all-in with Qi calling instantly – usually never a good sign if you have just shoved…
Lim, holding the speculative 
would need some help against Qi’s 
and picked up a gutshot draw when the flop fell 
.
While the 
turn was a blank the 
river sure wasn’t and the rest of the table burst into hysterical laughter.
“What?” asked Lim, “I have like, 2 big blinds left there if I fold…”
So there you have it, folks, sometimes taking a gamble pays off. Lim climbed to 200,000 while Qi took the hit good-naturedly and dropped to 500,000.
