Lin Straddles, Can't Bluff Shimizu
Ren Lin pulled out a cash game move by straddling to 1,000 from under the gun before the cards were dealt and Carlos Zanoni called from the hijack before Nozomu Shimizu three-bet to 6,600 from the button.
Shimizu yelled something in Japanese and Lin and table mate Sung Hyun both burst out laughing before Lin and Zanoni both called.
All three players checked on the 
flop and the same action took place on the 
turn. Lin and Zanoni both checked on the 
river and Shimizu bet a tiny 1,000 before Lin check-raised to 15,000. Zanoni folded and Shimizu called.
Lin let out a laugh to show he was beat before turning over 
for ace-high, while Shimizu showed 
to win the pot with a pair of kings.
"YAY!" he celebrated.
"You straddle this time!" Lin ordered.
"I'm tired," replied Shimizu.
