Lin Scores a Knockout on Soft Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of A♣J♥9♦A♠ and about 125,000 already in the middle, a player in the big blind checked and Daguang Lin bet 200,000, enough to put the player in the big blind, who had a bit less, at risk. After taking a minute to weigh his options the big blind made the call.
Big blind: J♠8♦
Daguang Lin: A♦3♥
Lin had his opponent drawing dead and took the pot after the incosequential 2♠ river while his opponent was eliminated just a few spots shy of making the money.
