Lai Turns the Nuts
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Robert Champion opened to 10,000 from the under the gun and was called by Grant Hinkle in middle position and Tekk Lai in the big blind.
The A♠10♠4♥ flop checked through to the A♣ turn which saw Champion bet 18,000. Hinkle folded and Lai called.
On the 2♠ river, Lai opted to lead for 25,000 which sent Champion into a small tank before he opted to let it go. Lai revealed that he had A♦10♦ for the turned nut full house as Champion made the right laydown.
