Lin Leaves Baumstein Puzzled
With around 50,000 already in the pot, Scott Baumstein checked to Ren Lin on an A♦5♠6♦ flop. Baumstein was in early position, with Lin seated immediately to his left. Lin bet 15,000, and Baumstein called.
Both players checked on the 10♥ turn, prompting Baumstein to lead out for 11,000 on the 4♦ river.
"I know what you have", Lin told Baumstein before making the call.
Baumstein tabled A♠J♠, which surprised Lin, as that seemingly was not what he thought Baumstein had.
After a moment had passed, Lin tabled the same hand, A♣J♥.
"That's really tilting", Baumstein mused.
"If I jam, you call?" Lin responded, much to the amusement of others at the table.
"I don't even know if you're being serious", Baumstein told Lin, by which point, the dealer had apportioned the pot, and play was moving on.
