Shuts Doubles Through Lau
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Maksim Shuts raised to 21,000 with little behind and Ka Kwan Lau three-bet the pot from one seat over. The rest of the table folded and Shuts called all in for 31,000 total.
"Ace on the flop," Lau demanded, while Shuts was hoping for a jack when both tabled their cards.
Maksim Shuts: 
Ka Kwan Lau: 
The board came 
and Shuts indeed flopped a set to double.
Lau then got into a battle of the blinds with Sam Greenwood and bet the 
turn for 19,000. Greenwood called and the Spaniard checked the river. Greenwood bet 50,000 into a pot of 62,000 and Lau folded.
