Lau Can't Catch a Break
Level 30
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez opened to 1,200,000 with A?K?7?2? and Ka Kwan Lau made the call with A?K?6?3?.
The duo checked through the flop of A?2?4? and went straight to the 7? turn, which saw a bet of 1,800,000 from Lau with his pair of aces and Martinez Gonzalez made the call with his two-pair of aces and sevens.
The river came the 4? to pair the board and Lao fired again for 1,800,000 and Martinez Gonzalez thought about it for a second before he made the call with the superior hand.
"Ace-king," Lao announced as he showed his hand but was then shown the bad news by Martinez Gonzalez to win him the pot, widening the gap between the two.
