[user67765]

Phil Lau

A player raised to 350 from the cutoff before Phil Lau popped it up to 750 to go on the button. His opponent made the call and they saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

.

The cutoff checked to Lau who fired 1,000. His opponent then check-raised to 3,000 and Lau made the call.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and both checked as the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

landed on the river. The cutoff made a small 1,000-chip bet and Lau called tabling {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

for an overpair. It was good as his opponent could only muster {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

for top pair.

After a slow start Lau is back to 19,100.
