Lim Flies Straight

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Former Day 1C chip leader Yah Loon Lim was getting short so when Zhu Qi raised his big blind he decided to take a gamble and moved all-in with Qi calling instantly – usually never a good sign if you have just shoved…

Lim, holding the speculative {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} would need some help against Qi’s {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and picked up a gutshot draw when the flop fell {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

While the {2-Clubs} turn was a blank the {7-Spades} river sure wasn’t and the rest of the table burst into hysterical laughter.

“What?” asked Lim, “I have like, 2 big blinds left there if I fold…”

So there you have it, folks, sometimes taking a gamble pays off. Lim climbed to 200,000 while Qi took the hit good-naturedly and dropped to 500,000.
