Lafata Survives on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After Dale Whiteside limped in from under the gun, Mark Lafata raised to 4,600 in the small blind and Josh Hatfield called in the big blind, as did Whiteside.
All three players checked the J♠7♦5♥ flop. Lafata then moved all in for 22,800 on the 10♦ turn, Hatfield called, while Whiteside got out of the way.
Lafata showed A♦A♥, but Hatfield had turned two pair with J♥10♠. The river, though, brought the 7♥ to give Lafata aces and sevens, and he earned the double up.
