Junko Applying Pressure
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
With about 18,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading 
, Hirai Junko was in the big blind and checked to her lone opponent, Alan Lau in middle position. Lau bet 8,000 and Junko check-raised to 22,000. After a few moments of consideration, Lau folded and Junko took the pot.
