Huang Brings the Pressure

[user75032]

Bryan Huang is slowly but steadily building up his chip stack. He raised to 1,700 from early position and was called only by Kwang Soo Lee. Huang checked to Lee on a flop of {J-Diamonds}

. Lee took the initiative and fired out a bet of 2,800. Action was on Huang for thirty seconds before he silently slid out a stack of blue (500) chips which the dealer cut down to a total of 9,000 chips. Lee tanked for about a minute and a half but ultimately mucked his hand -- as most tankers do!

Lackovic Doubles

[user80015]

Nik Lackovic opened on the button to 2,000 and [Removed:197] moved all in from the big blind. Lackovic quickly made the call for his remaining few thousand chips and the cards were tabled.

Lackovic: {K-Diamonds}

Nasr:

The window card was a sick {A-Diamonds}

for Lackovic, but he still had outs when the flop read {A-Diamonds}

. The turn gave Lackovic an even bigger sweat when it fell the {6-Diamonds}

. His patience would be rewarded when the river landed the {Q-Hearts}

to fill Lackovic with a Broadway straight.

Lackovic now moves to over 15,000 in chips as Nasr slips to around 14,000 in chips.
