Sitbon Scores a Double with "Lady Gaga"

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a raise to 1,100 in early position and Andrew Swenson three-bet to 3,300 on his left. Julien Sitbon shipped all in for 8,900 on the button and Ren Lin flat-called from the big blind. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.

Julien Sitbon: Q♠Q♦
Ren Lin: 9♣9♦

"Ahh, Lade Gaga," Lin said to Sitbon. "What are you scared of? Maybe Lady Gaga no good on Monday."

The board ran out 10♠5♣4♦3♦2♥ and Sitbon's pocket queens turned out to be just fine in order to score a double-up.
