Lazrus Cracks Aces For a Knockout
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
A player under the gun bet 125,000 on a flop of J♥2♣4♦ and Daniel Lazrus raised to 360,000 in the small blind. His opponent called, and they went to the 6♥ turn.
Lazrus then moved all in, and his opponent snap-called for 800,000. He showed A♥A♣, but Lazrus had 4♠4♣ for a flopped set. The river was the 5♥, and the under-the-gun player was sent to the rail.
"The snap was so fast, I would've been scared about jacks for a second," tablemate Greg Himmelbrand said to Lazrus.
