Lin Leads on his "Lady Gaga"
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Gab Yong Kim raised preflop as first to act and Ren Lin defended his big blind once the action folded to him. Both players then checked on the 9♠J♥A♦ flop before the Q♣ turn appeared.
Lin checked again and called the subsequent 35,000 bet that Kim put out. The Q♥ river then paired the board.
"Ah, Lady Gaga!", exclaimed Lin gleefully, after which he made an out-of-flow bet of 175,000. This move put Kim into a state of confusion, causing him to spend one time bank extension before tossing in a call.
"Lady Gaga, my friend," Lin told his opponent, as he showed his Q♠8♠ for rivered trips. Kim could not beat that hand as he threw his cards into the muck, leaving him with roughly ten big blinds to play with.
