Li Spikes Turn to Double via Lin
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Zhendong Li was all in for 57,000 and at risk versus Ren Lin.
Zhendong Li: 8♠8♦ 
Ren Lin: Q♥Q♦
Li was in trouble versus Lin's overpair queens, and Lin improved to top set on the Q♠4♠2♠ flop. However Li still had outs to the flush draw, and the A♠ rolled off on the turn to put him in front.
Li just had to avoid the board pairing to take the pot, or a fourth queen, and the K♣ river was a brick, sending him the double-up.
Lin, always in good form at the table, smiled and said "How can I lose with Lady Gaga?!"
