Lin Loses to Schindler's "Lady Gaga"

Level 8 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Maximilian Schindler raised in middle position and Laura Wolkoff three-bet in the small blind. Ren Lin called in the big blind, and Schindler then four-bet. Both opponents called.

"I'm gambling," Lin said as the flop came J85. Schindler then bet and Wolkoff raised. Lin called, and Schindler reraised. Wolkoff folded, while Lin called.

"I got a beautiful hand," Lin said heading to the 9 turn. Schindler then bet, Lin raised, and Schindler called.

The river was the 10. "Ay ay ay, Lady Gaga. I don't like that card," Lin said, but he still led out with a bet. Schindler then raised, and Lin called.

"Lady Gaga," Schindler said, turning over QJ for a rivered straight.

"So tilted," Lin said as he mucked 76.
