donpeters

Phil Laak limped on the button with the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

. Roland De Wolfe checked in the big blind with the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

.

The flop smashed Laak, coming {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Both players checked.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and now De Wolfe had a pair. He bet 50,000 and Laak called.

The river was the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and spelled trouble for De Wolfe. He bet 110,000 and then Laak raised to 220,000, the minimum. De Wolfe hated to see Laak raise and pain came over his face. Eventually, De Wolfe made the call and Laak showed him the goods. De Wolfe gave a little smirk and dropped to 230,000 chips.
