Lau Doubles Back Into Narrow Lead
Livello 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised to 1,200,000 on the button for Ka Kwan Lau to defend the big blind.
On a flop of 7♣4♠3♥, Lau checked and then called a bet worth 1,000,000 by his opponent which brought them to the 6♥ turn.
Lau checked and Martinez Gonzalez bet 2,400,000, prompting a pot-sized raise to 12,000,000 by Lau. Martinez Gonzalez vaulted out of his chair to eyeball the stack of his opponent and moved all-in for Lau to call.
Ka Kwan Lau: K♠Q♦8♦5♣
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♥7♥5♠5♦
Lau was ahead with the nut straight and Martinez Gonzalez needed a heart to win the bracelet right there. However, the 2♣ river only gave him an inferior straight and Lau doubled back into a lead of fewer than two big blinds.
