"Crazy Mike" and Lin Play A Weird One

Level 11 : Limits 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Pierre Lewandowski raised in the hijack which saw Mike "Crazy Mike" Thorpe call in the cutoff with Ren Lin calling in the big blind.

Lin drew four, to the amusement of his whole table as Lewandowski and Thorpe both drew one.

"You look to me like a No-Limit player," Thorpe opined "you don't strike me as somebody who plays games starting in B."

"Crazy Mike, let's see how crazy you are," Lin said as he peeled his cards and excitedly hopped out of his chair. Action checked around to Thorpe who bet and everyone called.

On the second draw every player drew one and action checked around a second time to Thorpe who bet and Lin raised. Lewandowski pitched his hand while Thorpe stuck around.

"I pat," said Lin.

"Ok, I'm pat as well," replied Thorpe who watched Lin put out a bet. "I think I win."

Lin turned over 9863 for nine-eight as Thorpe put in the call, but it was second best as Thorpe turned over 754A for seven-five.
