Altman Hits the River to Leave Labat With Crumbs; Gottlieb Runs Into Jacks
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 8♥7♠4♥, Brian Altman bet 8,000 from middle position and Antoine Labat called on the button.
Altman checked the K♥ turn and Labat bet 13,000. Altman called to see the 6♠ river, where Labat bet 21,500, leaving himself just 1,500 behind.
Altman quickly called and Labat showed A♣K♠ for top pair. Altman, though, had rivered two pair with K♣6♣ and took the pot to leave Labat with just one big blind.
At the same time at another table, Gonzalo Gottlieb got his last 60,000 in the middle from early position and was up against Sergi Miralles in the cutoff.
Gonzalo Gottlieb: 7♦7♠ 
Sergi Miralles: J♥J♣
The 10♠6♥K♥3♠5♦ board provided no help to Gottlieb and he was sent to the rail.
