Back and Forth at Start Of Heads Up Play
Level 29
: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Mark Lassau raised to 360,000 and Hamish Crawshaw called to see the 
flop, on which both players opted to check.
The 
turn brought another check by Crawshaw and Lassau bet 375,000, Crawshaw called and they headed to the 
river. Both players checked and Crawshaw won the pot.
Lassau clawed back some chips without showdown when he raised to 420,000 after a Crawshaw limp and picked up a call. On the 
flop both checked and Lassau bet the 
turn for 475,000, Crawshaw folded.
Crawshaw got the chips back almost immediately when he claimed two single-raised pots on the 
turn and the 
flop to cut down the stack of Lassau to fewer than 20 big blinds.
