Labat Loses a Chunk to Asaro
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Antonio Asaro's stack of 161,000 found its way into the middle from the small blind, with Antoine Labat trying to bust him from the big blind.
Antonio Asaro: K♦K♥
Antoine Labat: 7♣7♦
Asaro had the bigger pair and needed to dodge a seven to double up.
Labat hit the crossbar twice on the 6♠J♠2♦8♥9♦ runout, missing his two-outer seven and losing a chunk of his stack to Asaro's kings.
