Lauritsen and Koriagin Each Show One

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Vadym Koriagin opened to 3,000 from under the gun and PokerStars Team Pro Lasse Jagd Lauritsen, best known as "Wistern" online, defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q98 and Lauritsen check-called a 2,500 continuation bet from Koriagin.

Both players checked the 5 turn leading to the 5 river. Lauritsen moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining stack of about 9,000. Koriagin made the fold, showing the 2 in his hand as he did.

"Pick one" Lauritsen told his opponent. Koriagin obliged, revealing the 10 in his opponent's hand.
