Lin Strong Enough to Get a Knockout, Too Strong to Double Up
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
With an early position player all in for his last remaining chip, Daewoong Song, who finished 19th in yesterday's $800 deep stack event, raised. Thida Lin quickly placed her 110,000 chips in a phalanx in front of her, trying to lure Song into a call, but he folded.
Early Position: Q♣4♠
Thida Lin: A♠A♦
The 6♠5♣2♣ flop provided a little bit of a sweat, but the 10♣ turn and 2♥ river dashed the early position player's chip-and-a-chair dreams.
"I tried to look strong, so you would think I was weak," Lin explained to Song, "But you didn't bite."
