Lingham Shoves; Reinhold Sighs

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There were over 5,000 on the flop on a flop that read 2♦J♠9♥ when Vinodan Lingham from early position clashed with Christopher Reinhold from the hijack. Lingham bet before Reinhold put out a re-raise to 15,000.

Lingham jammed for 27,600, which resulted in an animated heavy sigh from Reinhold. A distraught Reinhold gave it considerable thought before he made the call.

Vinodan Lingham: Q♣Q♥All in
Christopher Reinhold: A♦J♣

Reinhold's gut feeling was right, as despite having top pair top kicker, he was well behind the pocket queens of Lingham with two cards to go.

Reinhold called for an ace, but it never came on the 8♣ turn, and the 6♣ river resulted in a double-up for Lingham.
