Laurila Makes Huge Hero Call to Take the Lead
Level 41
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Tero Laurila limped in with Q?2? on the button, after which Hiep Ninh raised to 3,600,000 with 9?6? in the big blind. Laurila made the call and called Ninh's 1,700,000 continuation-bet on the K?K?4? flop.
Ninh sized up to 4,700,000 on the 8? turn, but Laurila still hung around and made the call with his queen-high. The 5? river saw Ninh complete his triple barrel bluff with a bet of 7,900,000.
Laurila did not think long before he hero called with his queen-high. Ninh tabled his bluff and Laurila scooped up the biggest pot of the heads up, ending up with a big chip lead.
