Lapuente Refuses to Back Down
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
In a blind versus blind confrontation, there was 4,600 in the middle with two players looking at a board that read 7♦3♠Q♣.
Esteban Lapuente, in the small blind, bet out 2,000. Quentin Laugt in the big blind raised to 5,500, to which Lapuente called.
Lapuente played in flow on the 7♥. Laugt bet 6,000 and Lapuente called.
The 9♣ river checked to a showdown. Lapuente tabled A♦10♣ for just ace-high; good enough to see Laugt's cards into the muck.
