Hunichen Puts Lin to the Test in 25K Fantasy Battle

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 13,000 from under the gun and called when Chris Hunichen made it 44,000 from the big blind. Lin called.

Hunichen continued for 27,000 on the A?8?3? flop and was called. Hunichen then check-called for 65,000 on the K? turn.

The J? river completed the board, and Hunichen jammed as the bigger stack. Lin, with 140,000 behind, fell unusually quiet, mulling over his options. He decided to lay his hand down and award Hunichen the pot.

"Professional bluff," commented Lin as he tried to implore Hunichen to show his hand. The latter denied his request as he added the chips to his stack.
