Lin Dodges the "Gaga" to Double
Level 16
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Ren Lin in the small blind and he shoved all in for 845,000. Alexandre Vuilleumier in the big blind asked for a count before he called.
Ren Lin: A♠8♥
Alexandre Vuilleumier: K♣Q♥
"Gaga is off today," Lin said, hoping to avoid a queen that would help Vuilleumier.
"Don't disrespect the Gaga," tablemate Sean Winter added.
"Yes, but an ace come also," Lin replied, and sure enough the A♦7♥4♥ flop gave him top pair. Vuilleumier was already drawing dead after the 3♠ turn, while the 9♠ on the river was a mere formality.
"Touchdown, baby," Lin yelled as he secured a double up.
"First time I've ever seen you all in where three queens didn't come," Winter said following the hand.
