Lin's Perfect Trap Backfires
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Calvin Anderson opened 8,000 under the gun and after eying his stack, Ren Lin flatted on the button. Markkos Ladev jammed all-in from the small blind, forcing Anderson to fold quickly and Lin snap-called his stack of about 170,000.
"Oh no, you trapped me?" Asked Ladev.
"Yes," Lin responded with a chuckle as he rolled his hand.
Ren Lin: A♠A♦ 
Markkos Ladev: A♣5♣
Ladev continued, "That was the perfect trap. I didn't expect that."
The Q♠J♣4♣ flop gave Ladev a flush draw, and the 9♣ turn left Lin drawing dead. The 5♠ completed the board and Lin stood up as he said, "Let me get a photo for my boss. It's hard to get aces."
