Lau's Aggressive Line Wins Him the Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Two players remained in the pot as the board read 2?4?2?.
Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind check-raised the continuation of Johann Ibanez in the cutoff from 30,000 to 90,000. Ibanez called.
The turn brought the 10? and Lau bet again for 150,000. Ibanez was undeterred.
The 6? on the river saw Lau shove all in for the remainder of his stack, more than enough to put Ibanez at risk for his tournament life. After much deliberation, Ibanez folded.
