Lin Makes a Huge Call and Picks Off Gurin's Bluff
Sergei Gurin opened the cutoff and Hua-Wei Lin three-bet to 5,500 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Gurin called.
On the 3?Q?4? flop, Lin fired a continuation-bet of 4,000, and Gurin made the call.
When the 8? hit the turn, Lin made another bet of 7,000. Gurin then made a tiny raise to 15,500, and after some thinking, Lin called.
The 8? river paired the board and Lin checked it over to Gurin, who after a long pause, announced a bet of 50,000. Lin had slightly over 50,000 in her stack and was in the tank for around three minutes when she apologized to her table for taking a long time. The table didn't call the clock and around a minute later, Lin dropped in the call.
Gurin flipped over J?9? for a bluff, and Lin tabled K?K? for a pair of kings to claim the pot.
"Nice call," said several of the table to the Taiwanese player.
