Failla Has the Last Laugh Against Gao
Action picked up on a K♠6♥5♦5♥ flop in a limped pot between Will Failla in the small blind and Gui Gao in the big blind. Failla had check-raised a flop bet from Gao, who called.
On the turn, Failla bet 1,000,000 and Gao called.
Failla then checked the 3♥ river. Gao bet 1,300,000 and Failla called. Gao tabled 7♥5♣ for trips while Failla flashed a king.
The very next hand, Will Failla opened the button to 800,000 and was called by Gui Gao in the small blind and John Malczan in the big blind.
On the A♣6♥4♠ flop, Gao led from the small blind for 1,000,000, Malzcan folded, and Failla called.
Gao led for 2,500,000 on the 5♠ turn and Failla quickly called again.
On the 7♥ river, Gao checked to Failla who jammed for 3,400,000 effective as the covering stack, and Gao snap-called.
Failla tabled 4♥3♣, and Gao laughed as he shook his head and rechecked his cards, but mucked them face-down.
