Well, Who Saw That Outcome? Luda Chris Vs Linglin
I must admit at the time of writing I have not seen how this pans out. I’m currently writing after seeing The Flop, I’ve got a feeling we are in for a wild one here! The hand took place during last night’s Ante game at Hustler Casino Live between Luda Chris and Linglin Zeng. The game featured blinds of $25/50 with every player putting in a $25 ante into the pot, the action was live-streamed on Hustler Casino’s YouTube channel.
Kicking things off was Linglin ($153,000) from the +2 who had been dealt the Cowboys K
K
, she raised it to a respectful $300. Waiting on the button was Victor ($40,925) who peered down at AQ before chucking out a 3-bet to $1,500. Luda Chris($104,550) is no stranger to these spots at this stack depth (Super Deep!), he can’t help but join in with hands that have the potential to scoop monster pots, and 65 has just that.
With the action back on Linglin there was only one play she was going to make. The 4-bet was a little on the low side ($5,500) which allowed both Victor and Luda Chris to come along for the ride. Three players to the flop with $16,575 in the middle.
Luda Chris is Visibly Interested in the Flop
First to act Luda looked increasingly interested on a board of 48
2 before checking it over to Linglin. She wasted no time in putting out a meaty bet of $10,000. Having seen enough Victor made the easy fold. One thing is for sure this was Not Luda Chris’ first rodeo, he has been in these type of spots plenty of times. Question is with $26k already in the middle is he willing to get it all in? It’s worth noting with a double gutshot and the flush-draw Luda was a 54% favorite.
As I predicted Luda did indeed raise it up, a further $27,000 was the asking price. Linglin knew her opponent was committed. This was one of those spots that if your opponent has a set it is what it is. The more likely outcome was her opponent having a hand like he did.
Well I figured her play would be a little quicker, but I’m the one sitting here watching the action at 2x the speed instead of playing for thousands of Dollars. I can definitely respect the time she took to make her play. Having said that I have just seen that she Folded 😲.
Like a kid with a new Toy Luda happily tabled his bluff for all to see. Well, out of all the different ways that hand could have played out, I did not guess that one!
