button in SafariNo Lady Gaga for Lin
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Thomas Boivin opened to 30,000 from middle position. Ren Lin flat-called in the small blind, and Mohamed El-Wely defended his big blind. The A♠A♦K♦ flop checked to Boivin, who continued with a bet of 20,000.
Lin called, but El-Wely upped the ante to 80,000. Boivin folded before Lin back-raised to 140,000. El-Wely just called, and Lin requested a "Lady Gaga" on the turn.
The 8♦ turn brought no lady, and it checked through to the 3♠ river. Lin put his opponent all in, and El-Wely snap-called for 190,000.
"Flush?" Lin asked as he showed A♥Q♥ for trip aces.
El-Wely did not have a flush, but his A♣3♣ had made a full house on the river, earning him the pot to double up.
"No future," Lin concluded.
